The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that plays a pivotal role in regulating cellular responses to environmental and endogenous compounds. Initially identified for its ability to bind toxic xenobiotics like dioxins and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, AhR is now recognized as a multifunctional regulator of immune responses, cellular differentiation, and homeostasis. Structurally, it contains a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain for DNA binding, a Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) domain for ligand interaction and dimerization, and a transactivation domain. Upon ligand binding, AhR translocates to the nucleus, partners with the AhR nuclear translocator (ARNT), and activates genes containing xenobiotic response elements (XREs), such as CYP1A1. which metabolizes foreign chemicals.
Recombinant AhR proteins are engineered using expression systems (e.g., bacterial, insect, or mammalian cells) to produce purified, functional AhR for research and therapeutic applications. These proteins retain key domains for ligand binding, dimerization, and DNA interaction, enabling studies on AhR signaling mechanisms, ligand screening, and drug development. Recombinant AhR is widely used in toxicology to assess pollutant toxicity, in immunology to explore its role in T-cell differentiation and inflammation, and in cancer research to investigate its dual oncogenic/tumor-suppressive effects. It also serves as a tool for structural biology (e.g., crystallography) to visualize ligand-receptor interactions. The development of recombinant AhR variants with modified ligand specificity or stability has further expanded its utility in targeted therapies and mechanistic studies, highlighting its importance in bridging environmental exposure to biological outcomes.
