Expression of aryl hydrocarbon receptor and aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocators in human adenoid tissue

Auris Nasus Larynx, 2011
The aim of this study was to determine whether aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and AhR nuclear translocators (ARNTs) are expressed in human adenoid tissue.Paraffin-embedded human adenoid tissue specimens were obtained from eight children with adenoid hypertrophy.

Aryl hydrocarbon receptors: diversity and evolution

Chemico-Biological Interactions, 2002
Animals have evolved inducible enzymatic defenses to facilitate the biotransformation and elimination of toxic compounds encountered in the environment. The sensory component of this system consists of soluble receptors that regulate the expression of certain isoforms of cytochrome P450, other enzymes, and transporters in response to environmental ...

Nucleocytoplasmic Shuttling of the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor

Journal of Biochemistry, 2000
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that acts in concert with the AhR nuclear translocator (ARNT), and alters gene expression in response to environmental contaminants such as 2,3,7, 8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD).

The role of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator protein in aryl hydrocarbon receptor action

Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1994
The aryl hydrocarbon (AH, or dioxin) receptor mediates carcinogenesis by a wide variety of compounds. It acts as a ligand-dependent transcription factor. Many investigators expected that the AH receptor would prove to be a member of the steroid/thyroid/retinoic acid receptor superfamily of proteins.

Mechanistic aspects the dioxin (aryl hydrocarbon) receptor

Food Additives and Contaminants, 2000
The Ah receptor mediates the toxicological responses of 2,3,7,8-TCDD and related compounds. Receptor-deficient animals were shown to be resistant to the toxic effects of dioxin, although there is also evidence for the existence of a receptor-independent pathway for dioxin-induced toxicity.

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor: A comparative perspective

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Endocrinology, 1998
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ah receptor or AHR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor involved in the regulation of several genes, including those for xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes such as cytochrome P450 1A and 1B forms. Ligands for the AHR include a variety of aromatic hydrocarbons, including the chlorinated dioxins and related halogenated ...

Dexlansoprazole is an aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonist

Food and Chemical Toxicology
Dexlansoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, is commonly used to treat gastro-esophageal reflux disease and erosive esophagitis. The activated aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) functions as a transcription factor by binding to the aryl hydrocarbon response element (AHRE) of its target genes, with cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A1 being the most well-known target ...

Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor-Interacting Protein and Acromegaly

Hormone Research in Paediatrics, 2007
<i>Background:</i> Recently, researchers at the Oulu University Hospital and the University of Helsinki identified a large pedigree segregating prolactinomas and somatotropinomas. Results suggest that this family from Northern Finland has a possible low penetrance of hereditary predisposition to development of pituitary adenoma, and in ...
