InnateDB Annotation
Summary
Gata3 plays a generalized role in innate lymphoid cell (ILC) lineage determination and is critical for the development of gut Rorc+ group 3 ILCs subsets that maintain mucosal barrier homeostasis.
Retinoic acid (RA) induces the maturation of lymphoid tissue inducer cells in developing lymph nodes by inducing RA receptor binding to the promoter region of Rorc.
Rorc is differentially required in the maintenance of TH17 cell and group 3 innate lymphoid cell responses.
InnateDB Annotation from Orthologs
Summary
[Homo sapiens] Differentiation of Type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) to IL7R(+) ILC1 is reversible whereas IL7R(+) ILC1 can differentiate to ILC3 in the presence of IL2, IL23A, and IL1B dependent on the transcription factor RORC, and this process is enhanced in the presence of retinoic acid.
Entrez Gene
Summary This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000143365:
The protein encoded by this gene is a DNA-binding transcription factor and is a member of the NR1 subfamily of nuclear hormone receptors. The specific functions of this protein are not known; however, studies of a similar gene in mice have shown that this gene may be essential for lymphoid organogenesis and may play an important regulatory role in thymopoiesis. In addition, studies in mice suggest that the protein encoded by this gene may inhibit the expression of Fas ligand and IL2. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
