Antioxidant Functions of the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor [PDF]
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a transcription factor belonging to the basic helix-loop-helix/PER-ARNT-SIM family. It is activated by a variety of ligands, such as environmental contaminants like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or dioxins, but ...

The Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AHR): Peacekeeper of the Skin. [PDF]
In the last decade, the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) has emerged as a critical peacekeeper for the maintenance of healthy skin. The evolutionary conservation of AHR implied physiological functions for this receptor, beyond the detoxification of man ...

Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AHR) Ligands as Selective AHR Modulators (SAhRMs). [PDF]
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) was first identified as the intracellular protein that bound and mediated the toxic effects of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD, dioxin) and dioxin-like compounds (DLCs).

The Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Pathway Defines the Time Frame for Restorative Neurogenesis [PDF]
Summary: Zebrafish have a high capacity to replace lost neurons after brain injury. New neurons involved in repair are generated by a specific set of glial cells, known as ependymoglial cells.

The Aryl-Hydrocarbon Receptor Protein Interaction Network (AHR-PIN) as Identified by Tandem Affinity Purification (TAP) and Mass Spectrometry [PDF]
The aryl-hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), a ligand activated PAS superfamily transcription factor, mediates most, if not all, of the toxicity induced upon exposure to various dioxins, dibenzofurans, and planar polyhalogenated biphenyls.

Regulation of IDO2 by the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) in Breast Cancer. [PDF]
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 2 (IDO2) is a tryptophan-catabolizing enzyme and a homolog of IDO1 with a distinct expression pattern compared with IDO1. In dendritic cells (DCs), IDO activity and the resulting changes in tryptophan level regulate T-cell differentiation and promote immune tolerance.

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) functions in infectious and sterile inflammation and NAD+-dependent metabolic adaptation. [PDF]
Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) research has shifted from exploring dioxin toxicity to elucidation of various physiologic AHR functions. Exposure to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is known to exert cellular stress-mediated sterile ...

The Role of the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) and Its Ligands in Breast Cancer. [PDF]
Breast cancer is a complex disease which is defined by numerous cellular and molecular markers that can be used to develop more targeted and successful therapies. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is overexpressed in many breast tumor sub-types, including estrogen receptor -positive (ER+) tumors; however, the prognostic value of the AhR for breast ...

Binding of Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) to AhR-interacting Protein [PDF]
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) has been shown to interact with an immunophilin-like molecule known as AhR-interacting protein (AIP) and to enhance AhR function. We show here that AIP associates with AhR homologues from mouse and fish, which can bind ligands such as dioxin, but nonligand binding homologues from Caenorhabditis elegans or Drosophila ...
