Alternative products:Additional isoforms seem to exist ,Disease:Defects in PPARG are the cause of familial partial lipodystrophy type 3 (FPLD3) [MIM:604367]. Familial partial lipodystrophies (FPLD) are a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders characterized by marked loss of subcutaneous (sc) fat from the extremities. Affected individuals show an increased preponderance of insulin resistance , diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia. ,Disease:Defects in PPARG can lead to type 2 insulin-resistant diabetes and hyptertension. ,Disease:Defects in PPARG may be associated with colon cancer. ,Disease:Defects in PPARG may be associated with susceptibility to obesity [MIM:601665]. ,Disease:Variation in PPARG is associated with carotid intimal medial thickness 1 (CIMT1) [MIM:609338]. CIMT is a measure of atherosclerosis that is independently associated with traditional atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk factors and coronary atherosclerotic burden. 35 to 45% of the variability in multivariable-adjusted CIMT is explained by genetic factors. ,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. Key regulator of adipocyte differentiation and glucose homeostasis. ,online information:Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor entry ,online information:The Singapore human mutation and polymorphism database ,polymorphism:Genetic variation in PPARG may influence body mass index (BMI) [MIM:606641]. BMI reflects the amount of fat , lean mass , and body build. ,similarity:Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. ,similarity:Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR1 subfamily. ,similarity:Contains 1 nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain. ,subunit:Forms a heterodimer with the retinoic acid receptor RXRA called adipocyte-specific transcription factor ARF6. Interacts with NCOA6 coactivator , leading to a strong increase in transcription of target genes. Interacts with coactivator PPARBP , leading to a mild increase in transcription of target genes. Interacts with FAM120B (By similarity) . Interacts with NOCA7 in a ligand-inducible manner. Interacts with NCOA1 LXXLL motifs. Interacts with TGFB1I1. Interacts with DNTTIP2. ,tissue specificity:Highest expression in adipose tissue. Lower in skeletal muscle , spleen , heart and liver. Also detectable in placenta , lung and ovary. ,
