Background
ROR-gamma is a 560 amino acid novel DNA-binding transcription factor belonging to the ROR/RZR orphan nuclear receptor subfamily. The specific functions of this protein are not known. However, reports suggest that this protein is a ligand activated transcription factor and may be essential for lymphoid organogenesis (lymph nodes and Peyer's patches) and may play an important regulatory role in controlling apoptosis during thymopoiesis. ROR-gamma inhibits the expression of Fas ligand and IL2 and directs the differentiation program of proinflammatory IL-17+ T helper cells. ROR-gamma shares 50 to 51 % sequence identity with RORA and RORB and is 88 % identical to mouse ROR-gamma. It is highly expressed in skeletal muscle and at lower levels in various other tissues.Synonyms: NR1F3, Nuclear receptor ROR-gamma, Nuclear receptor RZR-gamma, Nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group F member 3, RORG, RZRG, Retinoid-related orphan receptor-gamma
