Abstract excerpt
RORalpha (Retinoid-related Orphan Receptor) is a transcription factor belonging to the superfamily of nuclear receptors. The spontaneous staggerer (sg) mutation, which consists of a deletion in the Rora gene, has been shown to cause the loss of function of the RORalpha protein. The total loss of RORalpha expression leads to cerebellar developmental defects, particularly to a dramatic decreased survival of...
