Description

General description

Aryl Hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a transcription factor with an undetermined physiological receptor. AHR binds exogenous ligands such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, plant flavonoids, polyphenolics and indoles. It also binds tryptophan derivatives, tetrapyrroles and arachiconic acid metabolites. Aryl Hydrocarbon receptor is believed to be involved in differentiation processes such as hematopoiesis and the development of lymphoid systems, T-cells, neurons and hepatocytes. AHR activation leads to the induction of a plethora of xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes.

Rabbit polyclonal anti-AHR (AB1) antibody reacts with human, canine, mouse, rat, and rabbit aryl hydrocarbon receptors.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human AHR

Application

Rabbit Anti-AHR (AB1) antibody can be used for western blot assays at a concentration of 2.5μg/ml.

Rabbit polyclonal anti-AHR (AB1) antibody is used to tag aryl hydrocarbon receptor for detection and quantitation by immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the presence and roles of aryl hydrocarbon receptor in differentiation, cell development, and adaptive response to xenobiotic stress.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor involved in the regulation of biological responses to planar aromatic hydrocarbons. AHR has been shown to regulate xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes such as cytochrome P450. AHR ligands included a variety of aromatic hydrocarbons.
