Nuclear receptor that binds DNA as a monomer to ROR response elements (RORE) containing a single core motif half-site 5-AGGTCA-3 preceded by a short A-T-rich sequence. Considered to have intrinsic transcriptional activity, have some natural ligands such as all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and other retinoids which act as inverse agonists repressing the transcriptional activity.
