Background:

Retinoids are metabolites of vitamin A (retinol) and represent an important class of signaling molecule during vertebrate development and tissue differentiation. A large group of nuclear transcription factors, including vitamin D3 receptor (VDR), thyroid hormone receptor (TR), RAR, RXR and ecdysone receptor, have a high affinity for retinoic acids and are members of the steroid receptor superfamily. This family acts by directly associating with DNA sequences known as hormone response elements (HREs) and bind DNA as either homo- or heterodimers. RORα is a member of the steroid receptor superfamily and is classified as an “orphan receptor” due to the lack of a defined ligand. Two isoforms of RORα have been described and are designated RORα1 and RORα2. RORα, also referred to as RZR, binds DNA as a monomer at consensus RORα response elements (ROREs).

Specificity:

RORA polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of RORA protein.
