Rabbit Anti-ARA9/XAP2 antibody
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.

Function:
signaling, possibly by influencing its receptivity for ligand and/or its nuclear targeting.
Cellular negative regulator of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) X protein.May play a positive role in AHR-mediated (aromatic hydrocarbon receptor)
Subunit:
Interacts with RET in the pituitary gland; this interaction prevents the formation of the AIP-survivin complex.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm.
Tissue Specificity:
Widely expressed. Higher levels seen in the heart, placenta and skeletal muscle. Not expressed in the liver.
DISEASE:
Defects in AIP are a cause of familial isolated pituitary adenoma (FIPA)
[MIM:10440].
Defects in AIP are a cause of growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma (GHSPA) [MIM:10440]; also known as familial isolated somatotropinomas (FIS) or isolated familial somatotropinoma (IFS) or familial somatotrophinoma or acromegaly due to pituitary adenoma.
Defects in AIP are a cause of ACTH-secreting pituitary adenoma (ASPA) [MIM:219090]; also known as pituitary Cushing disease. A pituary adenoma resulting in excessive production of adrenocorticotropic hormone. This leads to hypersecretion of cortisol by the adrenal glands and ACTH-dependent Cushing syndrome. Clinical manifestations of Cushing syndrome include facial and trunkal obesity, abdominal striae, muscular weakness, osteoporosis, arterial hypertension, diabetes.
Defects in AIP are a cause of prolactin-secreting pituitary adenoma (PSPA) [MIM:600634]; also known as prolactinoma. Prolactin-secreting pituitary adenoma is the most common type of hormonally active pituitary adenoma.
Similarity:
Contains 1 PPIase FKBP-type domain.
Contains 2 TPR repeats.
