Human RAR Related Orphan Receptor Gamma (RORg) Protein

Background

RAR related orphan receptor C (RORC), also known as RORγ, is a nuclear receptor that plays a crucial role in regulating immune responses, particularly in the differentiation of Th17 cells, which are a subset of helper T cells involved in autoimmune diseases RORC is essential for the regulation of inflammatory processes and the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, making it a key player in the pathogenesis of conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and multiple sclerosis RORC also influences the development of the thymus and other immune organs, playing a role in maintaining immune homeostasis It is involved in the regulation of metabolic processes and the response to oxidative stress and environmental factors Dysregulation of RORC expression is linked to autoimmune diseases, chronic inflammation, and cancer, where altered immune regulation contributes to disease progression Targeting RORC with specific inhibitors has been explored as a therapeutic strategy to manage autoimmune diseases and inflammatory conditions, highlighting its potential as a drug target in immune-related therapies
