Cayman Mouse Rar-Related Orphan Receptor, Gamma Reporter Assay Sy

INDIGO’s Mouse RORγ (RAR-related Orphan Receptor Gamma; nr1f3) referred to as mouse rorC, or here as mRORγ. The N-terminal DNA binding domain (DBD) of the native mRORγ receptor has been substituted with that of the yeast GAL4-DBD. The principle application of this reporter assay is in the screening of test samples to quantify inverse-agonist or agonist activities that they may exert against mouse RORγ.RAR-related orphan receptor gamma (ROR-gamma), also known as NR1F3 (nuclear receptor subfamily 1, group F, member 3) is a nuclear receptor encoded by the RORG gene.The RAR-related orphan receptors (RORs) are members of the nuclear receptor family of intracellular transcription factors. There are three forms of ROR, ROR-α, -β, and -γ and each is encoded by a separate gene (RORA, RORB, and RORC respectively). The RORs are somewhat unusual in that they appear to bind as monomers to hormone response elements as opposed to the majority of other nuclear receptors which bind as dimers. Melatonin has been reported to be the endogenous ligand for ROR-α while CGP 52608 has been identified as a ROR-α selective synthetic ligand. However X-ray crystallographic (PDB 1n83 and 1s0x) and functional data both suggest that cholesterol or a cholesterol derivative may be the endogenous ligand. In contrast, all-trans retinoic acid binds with high affinity to ROR-β and -γ but not ROR-α.mRORγ Reporter Cells are prepared using INDIGO’s proprietary CryoMite™ process. This cryo-preservation method yields high cell viability post-thaw, and provides the convenience of immediately dispensing healthy, division-competent reporter cells into assay plates. There is no need for intermediate spin-and-wash steps, viability determinations, or cell titer adjustments.[INDGO Catalog Nos. M04001-32, M04001]
