Gene Expression
Two isoforms are produced from the same RORC gene, probably by selection of alternative promoters.
- RORγ (also referred to as RORγ1) – produced from an mRNA containing exons 1 to 11.
- RORγt (also known as RORγ2) – produced from an mRNA identical to that of RORγ, except that the two 5'-most exons are replaced by an alternative exon, located downstream in the gene. This causes a different, shorter N-terminus.

Famous quotes containing the word expression:
“Cows sometimes wear an expression resembling wonderment arrested on its way to becoming a question. In the eye of superior intelligence, on the other hand, lies the nil admirari spread out like the monotony of a cloudless sky.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
