abstract：:The Ah receptor (AHR) is a basic helix-loop-helix protein that mediates the effects of 2,3,7,8-tetrachloro-dibenzo-p-dioxin. In this report, we describe a rabbit reticulocyte system that allows functional expression of both the AHR and its dimeric partner, the AHR nuclear translocator protein (ARNT). By using this in ...
