| Description: | The aryl hydrocarbon (Ah) receptor is involved in theinduction of several enzymes that participate in xenobioticmetabolism. The ligand-free, cytosolic form of the Ah receptor iscomplexed to heat shock protein 90. Binding of ligand, whichincludes dioxin and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, results intranslocation of the ligand-binding subunit only to the nucleus.Induction of enzymes involved in xenobiotic metabolism occursthrough binding of the ligand-bound Ah receptor to xenobioticresponsive elements in the promoters of genes for these enzymes.This gene encodes a protein that forms a complex with theligand-bound Ah receptor, and is required for receptor function.The encoded protein has also been identified as the beta subunit ofa heterodimeric transcription factor, hypoxia-inducible factor 1. At(1;12)(q21;p13) translocation, which results in a TEL-ARNT fusionprotein, is associated with acute myeloblastic leukemia.Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. |
| Further Information: | This ARNT antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 513-544 amino acids from the Central region of human ARNT. |
