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:
“No man’s thoughts are new, but the style of their expression is the never-failing novelty which cheers and refreshes men. If we were to answer the question, whether the mass of men, as we know them, talk as the standard authors and reviewers write, or rather as this man writes, we should say that he alone begins to write their language at all.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
