| Primary Identifier | MGI:104740 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 19013 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and lipid binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of appetite; positive regulation of fatty acid oxidation; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including enamel mineralization; positive regulation of biosynthetic process; and wound healing. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; early conceptus; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; and oocyte. Used to study schizophrenia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; coronary artery disease; hepatocellular carcinoma; lipid metabolism disorder; and myocardial infarction. Orthologous to human PPARA (peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation exhibit loss of diurnal variation in hepatic fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis, increased hepatic lipid and gonadal adipose stores, impaired skin wound healing, and altered metabolic responses to starvation.
