Description

peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha

Gene Summary

Enables several functions, including MDM2/MDM4 family protein binding activity; NFAT protein binding activity; and enzyme binding activity. Involved in several processes, including behavioral response to nicotine; cellular response to fructose stimulus; and negative regulation of cell growth involved in cardiac muscle cell development. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Used to study hepatocellular carcinoma; hypertension; hypertensive encephalopathy; and periodontitis. Biomarker of alcoholic hepatitis; hydrocephalus; hypertension; obesity; and steatotic liver disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; coronary artery disease; hepatocellular carcinoma; lipid metabolism disorder; and myocardial infarction. Orthologous to human PPARA (peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]
