Anti-PPAR Delta (2F9), monoclonal

Peroxisome proliferator-activator receptor delta(PPARD), a ligand-activated transcription factor, belongs to the PPARs family, which get its name for their chemicals that induce proliferation of peroxisomes, organelles that contributes to the oxidation of fatty acids. PPARD is a receptor for peroxisome proliferator and once activated by a ligand, it binds to and activates the promoter elements of target genes, such as acylCoA oxidase gene. But it act as a repressor for the NPC1L1 gene. Protein Function: Ligand-activated transcription factor key mediator of energy metabolism in adipose tissues (PubMed:35675826). Receptor that binds peroxisome proliferators such as hypolipidemic drugs and fatty acids. Has a preference for poly-unsaturated fatty acids, such as gamma-linoleic acid and eicosapentanoic acid. Once activated by a ligand, the receptor binds to promoter elements of target genes. Regulates the peroxisomal beta-oxidation pathway of fatty acids. Functions as transcription activator for the acyl-CoA oxidase gene. Decreases expression of NPC1L1 once activated by a ligand [The Uniprot Consortium]
