Abstract excerpt
The mammalian aromatic hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a ubiquitous ligand-activated transcription factor. AHR ligands include 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD; dioxin), benzo[a]pyrene, and polychlorinated and polybrominated biphenyls; the endogenous ligand is not yet known. Following ligand binding, the AHR transcriptionally activates genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes important in both the...
