The Ah Receptor belongs to a family of proteins comprised of its dimerization partner ARNT (HIF-1 Beta) and the Drosophila proteins PER and SIM. All of these proteins share an N-terminal sequence of ~200 amino acids termed the PAS domain. This receptor, found in a variety of tissues, binds to a specific DNA enhancer sequence and initiates transcription of the mRNA for the cytochrome P-450 (CYPIA1) gene.
