ARNT2 (Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Nuclear Translocator 2, ARNT Protein 2, Class E Basic Helix-loop-helix Protein 1, bHLHe1, BHLHE1, KIAA0307)

The aryl hydrocarbon (Ah) receptor is involved in the induction of several enzymes that participate in xenobiotic metabolism. The ligand-free, cytosolic form of the Ah receptor is complexed to heat shock protein 90. Binding of ligand, which includes dioxin and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, results in translocation of the ligand-binding subunit only to the nucleus. Induction of enzymes involved in xenobiotic metabolism occurs through binding of the ligand-bound Ah receptor to xenobiotic responsive elements in the promoters of genes for these enzymes. This gene encodes a protein that forms a complex with the ligand-bound Ah receptor, and is required for receptor function. The encoded protein has also been identified as the beta subunit of a heterodimeric transcription factor, hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF1). A t(1;12)(q21;p13) translocation, which results in a TEL-ARNT fusion protein, is associated with leukemia. Sumoylation of ARNT modulates the ability of ARNT to interact with cooperative molecules such as PML, thereby regulating the transcriptional role of ARNT. This exemplifies a crucial role of protein sumoylation in modulating protein-protein interactions.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot.
