Description

peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma

Gene Summary

Enables several functions, including nuclear estrogen receptor binding activity; protein phosphatase binding activity; and transcription coactivator binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to hyperoxia; positive regulation of cell differentiation; and positive regulation of metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of cardiac muscle hypertrophy in response to stress; negative regulation of connective tissue replacement involved in inflammatory response wound healing; and positive regulation of adiponectin secretion. Located in perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Used to study several diseases, including acute kidney failure; artery disease (multiple); glomerulosclerosis; pancreatitis; and transient cerebral ischemia. Biomarker of several diseases, including alcoholic cardiomyopathy; diabetic encephalopathy; hyperandrogenism; obesity; and steatotic liver disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including cardiovascular system disease (multiple); end stage renal disease; lipodystrophy (multiple); obesity; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human PPARG (peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
