Abstract excerpt
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor-associated protein-9 (ARA9) is a chaperone of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). The AHR has been shown to play a late developmental role in the normal closure of a fetal hepatovascular shunt known as the ductus venosus (DV). Given that Ara9-null mice display early embryonic lethality, we generated a hypomorphic Ara9 allele (designated Ara9(fxneo)) that displays reduced ARA9...
