Function

AhR deficiency affects both multiciliated cell commitment and cilia organization. In the presence of a Notch inhibitor, AhR agonists are still unable to trigger Ccno induction, indicating that Notch signals are not sufficient to provide the specificity for AhR-induced ciliogenesis. ( 27554288).
