Transgenic Humanized AHR Mouse Reveals Differences between Human and Mouse AHR Ligand Selectivity
4 Aug 2009
Abstract excerpt
The Aryl-hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a ligand activated transcription factor involved in xenobiotic metabolism. Most of the toxic effects of halogenated and non-halogenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (HAHs and PAHs respectively) are mediated by the AHR. For the AHR, a number of intra and interspecies differences exist in terms of responsiveness to the prototypical AHR ligand...
