| Description | Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha;PPAR-alpha;Alternative Name: Nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group C member 1 |
| Source organism | Rattus norvegicus (Rat) |
| Taxonomical Classification | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Sciurognathi;Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Rattus. |
| Subcellular location | Nucleus |
| Developmental Stage | N/A |
| Similarity | Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR1 subfamily. Contains 1 nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain. |
| Tissue Specificity | Expressed predominantly in liver and kidney. |
| Post translational modification | Phosphorylated. |
| 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. |
