About Ahr

Summary

Enables nuclear receptor activity and toxic substance binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to organic cyclic compound; negative regulation of Alkaline Phosphatase activity; and regulation of cellular macromolecule biosynthetic process. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in retinitis pigmentosa 85. Orthologous to human AHR (Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor).
