InnateDB Annotation
Summary
The transcription factor RORA is critical for the development of nuocytes and the mounting of innate type 2 immunity against parasitic worms. (Demonstrated in mice)
InnateDB Annotation from Orthologs
Summary
[Mus musculus] The transcription factor Rora is critical for the development of nuocytes and the mounting of innate type 2 immunity against parasitic worms.
[Mus musculus] Nlrp3 is a novel molecular target for melatonin which requires Rora to blunt the NFkB/ NLRP3 connection during sepsis.
Entrez Gene
Summary The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the NR1 subfamily of nuclear hormone receptors. It can bind as a monomer or as a homodimer to hormone response elements upstream of several genes to enhance the expression of those genes. The specific functions of this protein are not known, but it has been shown to interact with NM23-2, a nucleoside diphosphate kinase involved in organogenesis and differentiation, as well as with NM23-1, the product of a tumor metastasis suppressor candidate gene. Four transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

The encoded protein has been shown to interact with NM23-2, a nucleoside diphosphate kinase involved in organogenesis and differentiation, as well as with NM23-1, the product of a tumor metastasis suppressor candidate gene. Also, it has been shown to aid in the transcriptional regulation of some genes involved in circadian rhythm. Four transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.
