Background Information
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that has been largely regarded as a mediator of xenobiotic metabolism [PMID:18483242]. It plays a part role in physiologic activities, including attenuation of the acute phase response, cytokine signaling, T helper (TH)17 immune cell differentiation, modulation of NF-κB activity, and regulation of hormonal signaling [PMID:20423157,18540824]. It also mediates transcription factor sequestering away from a gene promoter or tethering of the AhR to a transcription factor on a promoter. AHR calculated molecular masses differ by <10%, compared with the apparent molecular masses predicted from SDS-PAGE for the two receptors (105 and 95 kDa, respectively). (PMID: 8246913)
