| Description | Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha;PPAR-alpha;Alternative Name- Nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group C member 1 |
| Organism | Xenopus laevis |
| Txonomy | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Amphibia; Batrachia; Anura; Mesobatrachia; Pipoidea; Pipidae;Xenopodinae; Xenopus; Xenopus. |
| Subcellular Location | Nucleus |
| Developmental Stage | Oocytes; embryos; and adults. |
| Similarity | Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR1 subfamily. Contains 1 nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain. |
| Post Translational Modification | NA |
| 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. |
