Subcellular locationNucleus
Developmental StageN/A
Similarity Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR1 subfamily. Contains 1 nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain.
Tissue SpecificityHighest expression in adipose tissue. Lower in liver, heart, kidney, stomach, duodenum and colon.
Post translational modificationN/A
Function Receptor that binds peroxisome proliferators such as hypolipidemic drugs and fatty acids. Once activated by a ligand, the receptor binds to a promoter element in the gene for acyl-CoA oxidase and activates its transcription. It therefore controls the peroxisomal beta-oxidation pathway of fatty acids. Key regulator of adipocyte differentiation and glucose homeostasis.
