Molecular Mechanisms and Genome-Wide Aspects of PPAR Subtype Specific Transactivation
1Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Southern Denmark, 5230 Odense, Denmark.
Abstract:
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are central regulators of fat metabolism, energy homeostasis, proliferation, and inflammation. The three PPAR subtypes, PPARα, β/δ, and γ activate overlapping but also very different target gene programs. This review summarizes the insights into PPAR subtype-specific transactivation provided by genome-wide studies and discusses the recent advances in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying PPAR subtype specificity with special focus on the regulatory role of AF-1.
