Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta

UniProt Q03181 Organism Homo sapiens Gene NR1C2, PPARB, PPARD

Also known as: NR1C2, PPARB, PPARD

Function

Ligand-activated transcription factor key mediator of energy metabolism in adipose tissues. Receptor that binds peroxisome proliferators such as hypolipidemic drugs and fatty acids. Has a preference for poly-unsaturated fatty acids, such as gamma-linoleic acid and eicosapentanoic acid. Once activated by a ligand, the receptor binds to promoter elements of target genes. Regulates the peroxisomal beta-oxidation pathway of fatty acids. Functions as transcription activator for the acyl-CoA oxidase gene. Decreases expression of NPC1L1 once activated by a ligand.
