Background

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR-alpha), also known as NR1C1 (nuclear receptor subfamily 1, group C, member 1), is a nuclear receptor protein that in humans is encoded by the PPARA gene. PPARA gene spans 83.7 kb and contains 8 exons. And the PPAR gene is mapped to chromosome 22q12-q13.1. Sher et al. (1993) cloned a cDNA for human peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor from a human liver cDNA library. The PPAR cDNA exhibited 85% and 91% DNA and deduced amino acid sequence identity, respectively, with mouse PPAR. PPAR-alpha is a transcription factor and a major regulator of lipid metabolism in the liver.

Function

Gap junction protein that acts as a regulator of bladder capacity. A gap junction consists of a cluster of closely packed pairs of transmembrane channels, the connexons, through which materials of low MW diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell. May play a critical role in the physiology of hearing by participating in the recycling of potassium to the cochlear endolymph. Negative regulator of bladder functional capacity: acts by enhancing intercellular electrical and chemical transmission, thus sensitizing bladder muscles to cholinergic neural stimuli and causing them to contract. May play a role in cell growth inhibition through the regulation of NOV expression and localization. Plays an essential role in gap junction communication in the ventricles.
