PPARα

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) is a member of the nuclear receptor family of ligand-activated transcription factors that heterodimerize with the retinoic X receptor (RXR) to regulate gene expression.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) is a member of the nuclear receptor family of ligand-activated transcription factors that heterodimerize with the retinoic X receptor (RXR) to regulate gene expression. PPARα is located primarily in the liver, adipose tissue, kidney, heart, skeletal muscle and large intestine where it is thought to regulate fatty acid synthesis and oxidation, gluconeogenesis, ketogenesis and lipoprotein assembly. The human gene encoding PPARα has been localized to chromosome 22 (22q12-13.1).
