ARNT (Aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator) is a gene whose normal job is to hold cell growth in check. The public catalogues list it as a drug target and a tumour suppressor, and an approved or late-stage drug is recorded against it. Tied to Skin cancer, Breast cancer, Small-cell lung cancer and 1 more. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
Transcription factor that functions as an obligate heterodimerisation partner for several basic helix-loop-helix PER-ARNT-SIM (bHLH-PAS) proteins. Forms heterodimers with the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) to mediate the transcriptional response to xenobiotics by binding xenobiotic response elements (XREs) or dioxin response elements (DREs) in target gene promoters. Also heterodimerises with hypoxia-inducible factor alpha subunits (HIF1A, EPAS1, NPAS1 or NPAS3) to form hypoxia-inducible transcription factors that bind hypoxia response elements (HREs) and activate genes involved in cellular and systemic responses to hypoxia, including angiogenesis, erythropoiesis, and metabolic adaptation. Plays a central role in environmental sensing and developmental and physiological regulation of gene expression. Location: Nucleus (UniProt). Locus 1q21.3 (HGNC).
