Specificity
This antibody recognises aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (encoded by the gene ARNT), also known as hypoxia-inducible factor 1-beta (HIF1-beta) or bHLHe2. ARNT is a member of the bHLH PAS (basic helix-loop-helix Per-ARNT-Sim) family of transcription factors. ARNT forms complexes with either hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1 alpha) or aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), ARNT is involved in the adaptive response to stress caused by dioxins and hypoxia.
