RAR-related orphan receptor alpha (RORα), also known as NR1F1 (nuclear receptor subfamily 1, group F, member 1) is a nuclear receptor that in humans is encoded by the ''RORA'' gene. RORα participates in the transcriptional regulation of some genes involved in circadian rhythm.〔 == Discovery ==
The first three human isoforms of RORα were initially cloned and characterized as nuclear receptors in 1994 by Giguère and colleagues, when their structure and function were first studied. In the early 2000s, various studies demonstrated that RORα displays rhythmic patterns of expression in a circadian cycle in the liver, kidney, retina, and lung.〔 Of interest, it was around this time that RORα abundance was found to be circadian in the mammalian suprachiasmatic nucleus.〔 RORα is necessary for normal circadian rhythms in mice,〔 demonstrating its importance in chronobiology.
