[Expressed as multiple variants in adipose tissue (highest), skeletal muscle, spleen, heart, liver placenta, lung, and ovary by human PPARG Gene (NR1/PPAR Family), nuclear Peroxisome Proliferative Activated Receptor Gamma heterodimerizes with RXRs and NCOA6 coactivator to regulate target gene transcription. A receptor that binds peroxisome proliferators, such as hypolipidemic drugs and fatty acids, PPARG is a key regulator of adipocyte differentiation and glucose homeostasis. Once activated by ligand, PPARG binds to an acyl-CoA oxidase gene promoter element, activates transcription, and controls the peroxisomal fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway. Defects in PPARG can lead to type 2 insulin-resistant diabetes and hypertension. (NCI) ( NCI )]
