AHRR aryl hydrocarbon receptor repressor

Gene ID: 57491, updated on 18-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: AHH; AHHR; bHLHe77

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene participates in the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) signaling cascade, which mediates dioxin toxicity, and is involved in regulation of cell growth and differentiation. It functions as a feedback modulator by repressing AhR-dependent gene expression. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.
