NCIt synonyms : Arylhydrocarbon Receptor Repressor; Aryl Hydrocarbon Hydroxylase Regulator; Aryl-Hydrocarbon Receptor Repressor; Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Regulator; Dioxin Receptor Repressor; bHLHe77; Class E Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Protein 77; AhRR;
NCIt definition : Aryl hydrocarbon receptor repressor (701 aa, 76 kDa) is encoded by the human AHRR
gene. This protein plays a role in the downregulation of aryl hydrocarbon receptor
responsive gene expression and the cellular response to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons,
including dioxin.;
NCIt note : Aryl hydrocarbon receptor repressor forms a heterodimer with aryl hydrocarbon receptor
nuclear translocator. This dimer subsequently binds to xenobiotic response element
(XRE) and represses gene expression. (UniProt);
