This gene encodes a member of the peroxisome
proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) family. PPARs are nuclear
hormone receptors that bind peroxisome proliferators and control
the size and number of peroxisomes produced by cells. PPARs mediate
a variety of biological processes, and may be involved in the
development of several chronic diseases, including diabetes,
obesity, atherosclerosis, and cancer. This protein is a potent
inhibitor of ligand-induced transcription activity of PPAR alpha
and PPAR gamma. It may function as an integrator of transcription
repression and nuclear receptor signaling. The expression of this
gene is found to be elevated in colorectal cancer cells. The
elevated expression can be repressed by adenomatosis polyposis coli
(APC), a tumor suppressor protein related to APC/beta-catenin
signaling pathway. Knockout studies in mice suggested the role of
this protein in myelination of the corpus callosum, lipid
metabolism, and epidermal cell proliferation. Alternate splicing
results in multiple transcript variants.1) Bailey, S.D., et al. Diabetes Care 33(10):2250-2253(2010)
