这个基因编码的蛋白质是芳香烃的受体和配体激活的转录因子。编码的蛋白质作为多蛋白复合物的一部分存在于细胞质中，但在配体结合后被转运到细胞核。这种蛋白质可以调节许多外源代谢酶的表达。此外，编码的蛋白可以特异性地结合并抑制乙型肝炎病毒的活性。已经发现了三个编码不同亚型的转录变体。[由RefSeq提供，2014年12月]
The protein encoded by this gene is a receptor for aryl hydrocarbons and a ligand-activated transcription factor. The encoded protein is found in the cytoplasm as part of a multiprotein complex, but upon binding of ligand is transported to the nucleus. This protein can regulate the expression of many xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes. Also, the encoded protein can bind specifically to and inhibit the activity of hepatitis B virus. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]
