Description

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a member of the basic-helix-loop-helix transcription factor protein family that is a normally inactive cytosolic transcription factor. Upon ligand binding AhR translocates to the nucleus and dimerizes with the AhR nuclear translocator (ARNT), leading to gene transcription alterations.

AHR is expressed in all tissues and most likely plays an important role in the development and maturation of many tissues.
