AHRR (aryl-hydrocarbon receptor repressor), also known as bHLHe77 (class E basic helix-loop-helix protein 77), is a 701 amino acid protein. Encoded by a gene that maps to human chromosome 5p15.33, AHRR exists as three alternatively spliced isoforms. AHRR localizes initially in cytoplasm, interacts with Arnt 1 and translocates to nucleus for prominent localization. Containing one basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain and one PAS (PER-ARNT-SIM) domain, AHRR is highly expressed in testis, lung, ovary, spleen, pancreas, kidney and thymus. AHRR is also highly expressed in mononuclear cells from umbilical cord blood and autoregulates its expression by associating with its own xenobiotic response element (XRE) site. AHRR regulates dioxin toxicity and participates in cell growth regulation and differentiation. Suppressing transcription activity of Ah Receptor, AHRR competes with the transcription factor for heterodimer formation with Arnt 1, and subsequently binds to the XRE sequence in the promoter. AHRR also suppresses CYP1A1 by binding the XRE sequence and recruiting ANKRA, HDAC4 or HDAC5. AHRR may be linked to male infertility and endometriosis susceptibilty.
