A viable hypomorphic Arnt2 mutation causes hyperphagic obesity, diabetes and hepatic steatosis
Aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator 2 (ARNT2) is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix/PER-ARNT-SIM (bHLH/PAS) transcription factor family. ARNT2 heterodimerizes with several members of the family, including single-minded homolog-1 (SIM1) and

Structural basis for the ligand-dependent activation of heterodimeric AHR-ARNT complex
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) possesses an extraordinary capacity to sense and respond to a wide range of small-molecule ligands, ranging from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to endogenous compounds.

Genome-wide survey and expression analysis of the bHLH-PAS genes in the amphioxus Branchiostoma floridae reveal both conserved and diverged expression patterns between cephalochordates and vertebrates [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The bHLH-PAS transcription factors are found in both protostomes and deuterostomes. They are involved in many developmental and physiological processes, including regional differentiation of the central nervous system, tube-formation, hypoxia

Studies on gender-specific disruption of bone tissue homeostasis by dioxins [PDF]
Dioxins are widespread environmental pollutants, known to cause immunosuppression, developmental and reproductive defects, as well as cancer. The toxic effects of dioxins are mediated by the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR, also referred to as the ...

Identification of a novel functional deletion variant in the 5'-UTR of the DJ-1 gene [PDF]
Background DJ-1 forms part of the neuronal cellular defence mechanism against oxidative insults, due to its ability to undergo self-oxidation. Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of central nervous system damage in different ...
