PPARA
Herbicides, leukotriene antagonists, plasticizers, as well as hypolipidemic medications, are all considered peroxisome proliferators since they promote an increase in the size and quantity of peroxisomes. In both plants and animals, peroxisomes are subcellular organelles that house enzymes for respiration as well as cholesterol and lipid metabolism. Peroxisome proliferators are considered to work through particular receptors known as PPARs, which are members of the superfamily of steroid hormone receptors. PPARs influence the expression of target genes involved in immunological and inflammatory responses, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. There are three subtypes that are related to one another: alpha, beta/delta, and gamma. Nuclear transcription factor of the subtype PPAR-alpha is encoded by this gene.
