Abstract excerpt
Introduction of a retroviral expression vector for the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) restores CYP1A1 inducibility to a mutant derivative of the Hepa-1 cell line that is defective in induction of CYP1A1 by ligands for the receptor. An AHR protein with normal ligand binding activity is expressed in the mutant but ligand treatment of mutant cell extract fails to induce binding of the AHR. ARNT (aryl hydrocarbon...
