Gene: AHR
Official Full Name: aryl hydrocarbon receptorprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a ligand-activated helix-loop-helix transcription factor involved in the regulation of biological responses to planar aromatic hydrocarbons. This receptor has been shown to regulate xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes such as cytochrome P450. Before ligand binding, the encoded protein is sequestered in the cytoplasm; upon ligand binding, this protein moves to the nucleus and stimulates transcription of target genes.

AHR Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines that have been specifically designed to lack the expression of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). AHR is a ligand-activated transcription factor that plays a critical role in mediating the effects of environmental toxins, such as dioxins and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, as well as regulating biological processes like cell proliferation, differentiation, and immune response. By providing a controlled system to study the role of AHR in various cellular contexts, these cell lines enable researchers to elucidate the pathways and mechanisms through which AHR influences cellular behavior and responses to environmental stimuli.
The primary function of AHR Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to facilitate the exploration of AHR-dependent signaling pathways. By studying these knockout lines, researchers can gain insights into how the absence of AHR affects gene expression, cell metabolism, and signal transduction processes. Such investigations are integral for understanding the impact of AHR on carcinogenesis, neurotoxicity, and immune modulation, thereby holding significant promise for translational research and therapeutic development.
From a scientific perspective, the applications of AHR Gene Knockout Cell Lines are manifold. In the realm of pharmaceuticals, they provide a vital tool for drug discovery, toxicity testing, and understanding drug interactions with environmental carcinogens. Furthermore, these cell lines can be utilized in academic research to deepen our understanding of fundamental biological processes, plant-microbe interactions, and host-pathogen dynamics.
The key advantages of AHR Gene Knockout Cell Lines over conventional cell culture models lie in their specificity, reproducibility, and the capability to provide a clearer interpretation of AHR's role in various biological systems. Unlike wild-type cell lines, these knockout models eliminate the confounding effects of AHR signaling, thereby allowing for more precise experimental outcomes.
