NCIt synonyms : ARNT Protein 2; ARNT2; KIAA0307; Aryl-Hydrocarbon Receptor Nuclear Translocator 2; Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Nuclear Translocator-2; bHLHe1; Class E Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Protein 1;
NCIt definition : Aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator 2 (717 aa, 79 kDa) is encoded by the
human ARNT2 gene. This protein is involved in DNA binding, transcriptional regulation
and xenobiotic metabolism.;
NCIt note : Aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator 2 specifically recognizes the xenobiotic
response element (XRE), but efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another
bHLH protein. (UniProt);
