Abstract excerpt
Tyrosine phosphorylation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), a member of the basic helix-loop-helix/PER-ARNT-SIM transcription factor family, has been shown to regulate its dioxin response elements (DRE) binding ability, although no specific residues have been directly demonstrated to be phosphorylated. Of the 23 tyrosines in the mouse AhR, 19 are conserved across all mammalian species sequenced thus far. The...
