PPARG（peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma），癌症关联基因，基因ID：5468，该基因编码核受体过氧化物酶体增殖激活受体（ppar）亚家族的一个成员。ppar与维甲酸x受体（rxrs）形成异二聚体，这些异二聚体调节各种基因的转录。已知三种ppar亚型：pparα、pparδ和pparγ。该基因编码的蛋白是pparγ，是脂肪细胞分化的调节因子。此外，pparγ还与许多疾病的病理学有关，包括肥胖、糖尿病、动脉粥样硬化和癌症。另外，还描述了编码不同亚型的剪接转录变体。[由RefSeq提供，2008年7月]This gene encodes a member of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) subfamily of nuclear receptors. PPARs form heterodimers with retinoid X receptors (RXRs) and these heterodimers regulate transcription of various genes. Three subtypes of PPARs are known: PPAR-alpha， PPAR-delta， and PPAR-gamma. The protein encoded by this gene is PPAR-gamma and is a regulator of adipocyte differentiation. Additionally， PPAR-gamma has been implicated in the pathology of numerous diseases including obesity， diabetes， atherosclerosis and cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq， J。
