Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are a group of closely related nuclear receptors. Three PPAR isotypes have been identified: α,β (also called NUC1) and γ. PPARa mRNA is expressed most in brown adipose tissue, heart, liver and kidney in rats. The gene encoding PPARα is localized on human chromosome 22q12-q13.1 and rat chromosome 7q34.
Immunogen
purified recombinant PPARα protein.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) may be involved in chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, atherosclerosis and cancer. PPARα has a protective function in fatty acids overload associated tubular injury. The enzyme also has a role in fatty acid oxidation and metabolism.

Nuclear hormone receptors (NHRs) regulate the expression of proteins that control aspects of reproduction, development and metabolism, and are major therapeutic targets. However, NHRs are ubiquitous and participate in multiple physiological processes. Drugs that act at NHRs are therefore commonly
