Abstract excerpt
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) repressor (AHRR), an AHR-related basic helix-loop-helix/Per-AHR nuclear translocator-Sim protein, is regulated by an AHR-dependent mechanism and acts as a transcriptional repressor of AHR function. Resulting from a teleost-specific genome duplication, zebrafish have two AHRR genes (AHRRa and AHRRb), but their functions in vivo are not well understood. We used antisense...
