DescriptionPeroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha;PPAR-alpha;Alternative Name: Nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group C member 1
Source organismRattus norvegicus (Rat)
Taxonomical ClassificationEukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Sciurognathi;Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Rattus.
Subcellular locationNucleus
Developmental StageN/A
Similarity Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR1 subfamily. Contains 1 nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain.
Tissue SpecificityExpressed 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.
