gene: ahr-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables DNA binding activity and RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of locomotion and response to xenobiotic stimulus. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of nuclear aryl hydrocarbon receptor complex. Expressed in ALML; ALMR; RMEL; RMER; and neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pancreatic cancer and retinitis pigmentosa 85. Is an ortholog of human AHR (aryl hydrocarbon receptor).
