AHRR wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human AHRR wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 5p15.33 and is approximately 167 kb in length. This allele, which encodes aryl hydrocarbon receptor repressor protein, is involved in xenobiotic metabolism and the inhibition of aryl hydrocarbon receptor-mediated transcription. A translocation t(5;8)(p15;q13) that fuses this gene with the NCOA2 gene is associated with soft tissue angiofibroma.
