Gene name

AHR

Description

aryl hydrocarbon receptor

Protein class

Candidate cancer biomarkers, Mapped to UniProt SWISS-PROT, Potential transmembrane proteins, Transcription factors

Protein evidence

High

Entrez gene summary

This gene encodes a ligand-activated transcription factor involved in the regulation of biological responses to planar aromatic hydrocarbons. This receptor has been shown to regulate xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes such as cytochrome P450. Its ligands included a variety of aromatic hydrocarbons. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
