aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator 2; ARNT protein 2; class E basic helix-loop-helix protein 1; bHLHe1 (ARNT2, BHLHE1, KIAA0307)
see Ah receptor complex
Function:
- Ah receptor binds to DNA as heterodimer with ARNT
- specifically recognizes the xenobiotic response element (XRE)
- efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein
- heterodimer with the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) or the SIM1 protein
- interacts with TACC3 (putative)
Structure:
- contains 1 basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain
- contains 1 PAC (PAS-associated C-terminal) domain
- contains 2 PAS (PER-ARNT-SIM) domains
Compartment: nucleus (putative)
Alternative splicing: named isoforms=2
Expression:
- expressed in brain, kidney, dorsal region of spinal cord & 1st branchial arch.
