Name Nuclear receptor ROR-alpha

  2. Nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group F member 1
  3. Retinoid-related orphan receptor-alpha
Gene Name RORA
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity
Specific Function Orphan nuclear receptor. Binds DNA as a monomer to hormone response elements (HRE) containing a single core motif half-site preceded by a short A-T-rich sequence. This isomer binds to the consensus sequence 5'-[AT][TA]A[AT][CGT]TAGGTCA-3'. Regulates a number of genes involved in lipid metabolism such as apolipoproteins AI, APOA5, CIII, CYP71 and PPARgamma, in cerebellum and photoreceptor development including PCP2, OPN1SW, OPN1SM AND ARR3, in circadian rhythm with BMAL1, and skeletal muscle development with MYOD1. Possible receptor for cholesterol or one of its derivatives
