AHR

The protein encoded by this gene is a ligand-activated helix-loop-helix 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. Before ligand binding, the encoded protein is sequestered in the cytoplasm; upon ligand binding, this protein moves to the nucleus and stimulates transcription of target genes.
Protein class

Cancer-related genes, Disease related genes, Human disease related genes, Transcription factors

Predicted location

Intracellular

Single cell type specificity

Cell type enhanced (Langerhans cells)

Immune cell specificity

Low immune cell specificity

Cell line specificity

Cell line enhanced (hTCEpi, hTERT-HME1, OE19, RT4)

Interaction

Homodimer (By similarity). Heterodimer; efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein (PubMed:10395741, PubMed:28602820). Interacts with ARNT; the heterodimer ARNT:AHR binds to core DNA sequence 5'-TGCGTG-3' within the dioxin response element (DRE) of target gene promoters and activates their transcription (PubMed:28602820). Binds MYBBP1A (By similarity). Interacts with coactivators including SRC-1, RIP140 and NOCA7, and with the corepressor SMRT (PubMed:10395741). Interacts with NEDD8 and IVNS1ABP (PubMed:12215427, PubMed:16582008). Interacts with ARNTL/BMAL1 (By similarity). Interacts with HSP90AB1 (By similarity). Interacts with TIPARP; leading to mono-ADP-ribosylation of AHR and subsequent inhibition of AHR (PubMed:23275542, PubMed:30373764).
