title: Polymorphic forms of the Ah receptor and induction of the CYP1A1 gene.
abstract: Induction of cytochrome P4501A1 (CYP1A1) by certain xenobiotics is mediated by the Ah receptor/Arnt complex. The present knowledge about the molecular process of induction is summarized with special attention to our recent work on characterization of the polymorphic forms of the Ah receptor.
