A general presentation of the AhR signaling pathway. The AhR belongs to a cytoplasmic complex which detects pollutants and therefore translocates into the nucleus forming a transcription factor with ARNT. The heterodimer binds to xenobiotic responsive elements (XRE) in the promoters of target genes including xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes which detoxifies the AhR ligands.
