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. ,online information:Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor entry ,similarity:Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR1 subfamily. ,similarity:Contains 1 nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain. ,subunit:Heterodimer with the retinoid X receptor. Interacts with NCOA3 and NCOA6 coactivators , leading to a strong increase of transcription of target genes. Also interacts with PPARBP coactivator in vitro. Interacts with AKAP13. ,tissue specificity:Skeletal muscle , liver , heart and kidney. ,
