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 | Highest expression in adipose tissue. Lower in liver, heart, kidney, stomach, duodenum and colon. |
Post translational modification | N/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. |
