abstract：:In this study, we describe the identification and cloning of a novel member of the nuclear receptor superfamily. This orphan receptor, referred to as ROR gamma, belongs to the ROR/RZR subfamily. The open reading frame of ROR gamma encodes a protein of 560 amino acid residues with a predicted molecular mass of 63 kD. T...
