Abstract
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) mediates biological responses to toxic chemicals. An unexpected role for AHR in
vascularization was suggested when mice lacking AHR displayed impaired closure of the ductus venosus after birth, as did
knockout mice for aryl hydrocarbon receptor interacting protein (AIP) and aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator
(ARNT). The resulting
