Entrez ID 5468
Gene name Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma
Gene symbol PPARG
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CIMT1FPLD3GLM1NR1C3PPARG1PPARG2PPARG5PPARgamma
Chromosome 3
Chromosome location 3p25.2
Summary This gene encodes a member of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) subfamily of nuclear receptors. PPARs form heterodimers with retinoid X receptors (RXRs) and these heterodimers regulate transcription of various genes. Three subtypes of

Protein name Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-gamma) (Nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group C member 3)
Protein function Nuclear receptor that binds peroxisome proliferators such as hypolipidemic drugs and fatty acids. Once activated by a ligand, the nuclear receptor binds to DNA specific PPAR response elements (PPRE) and modulates the transcription of its target
