Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a transcription factor that belongs to the basic helix-loop-helix PAS (Per-Arnt-Sim homology domain) family known to mediate the toxic and carcinogenic effects of xenobiotics. Interestingly, AhR is widely expressed in the central nervous system, but its physiological and pathological roles are still unclear.
