Abstract excerpt
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) plays a central role in 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (dioxin) hepatotoxicity, regulation of xenobiotic metabolism, and hepatovascular development. Each of these processes appears to be dependent on binding of the AHR to dioxin- responsive elements (DREs) within the genome. The Cyp1a1 and Cyp1a2 loci represent linked genes thought to play important roles in AHR biology....
