background:
The protein encoded by this gene is a transcriptional coactivator that regulates the genes involved in energy metabolism. This protein interacts with PPARgamma, which permits the interaction of this protein with multiple transcription factors. This protein can interact with, and regulate the activities of, cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) and nuclear respiratory factors (NRFs). It provides a direct link between external physiological stimuli and the regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis, and is a major factor that regulates muscle fiber type determination. This protein may be also involved in controlling blood pressure, regulating cellular cholesterol homoeostasis, and the development of obesity. [provided by RefSeq].
Function:
Transcriptional coactivator for steroid receptors and nuclear receptors. Greatly increases the transcriptional activity of PPARG and thyroid hormone receptor on the uncoupling protein promoter. Can regulate key mitochondrial genes that contribute to the program of adaptive thermogenesis.
Subunit:
Binds MYBBP1A, which inhibits transcriptional activation by this protein. Interacts with PRDM16. Interacts with LRPPRC. Homooligomer. Interacts with LPIN1.
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus.
Tissue Specificity:
Heart, skeletal muscle, liver and kidney. Expressed at lower levels in brain and pancreas and at very low levels in the intestine and white adipose tissue. In skeletal muscle, levels were lower in obese than in lean subjects and fasting induced a 2-fold increase in levels in the skeletal muscle in obese subjects.
Post-translational modifications:
Phosphorylation by AMPK in skeletal muscle increases activation of its own promoter. Phosphorylated by CLK2.
Similarity:
Contains 1 RRM (RNA recognition motif) domain.
