A mechanism describing Dlx3 as a positive regulator of AhR is proposed.
Dlx3 and AhR are robustly co-expressed in human and murine CD127+ NK cells.
Dlx3 induces AhR expression by directly binding the AhR promoter.
Dlx3 activates expression of AhR, which in turn activates Xenobiotic Responsive Elements (XRE).
