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:
“Of course, some men are very effective caregivers [of elderly parents]. But this situation occurs far less frequently for males than females, because it is a role reversal. For women, caregiving is an expected duty; for men, it is an unexpected expression of love or devotion.”
—Tish Sommers (20th century)
