Mouse Anti-PPAR delta antibody
Receptor that binds peroxisome proliferators such as hypolipidemic drugs and fatty acids. Once activated by a ligand, the receptor binds to a promoter element in the gene for acyl-CoA oxidase and activates its transcription. It therefore controls the peroxisomal beta-oxidation pathway of fatty acids. Heterodimer with the retinoid X receptor. Subcellular located at nuclear Tissue specificity: Heart, adrenal and intestine. Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR1 subfamily. It Contains 1 nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain.
Function:
Ligand-activated transcription factor. Receptor that binds peroxisome proliferators such as hypolipidemic drugs and fatty acids. Has a preference for poly-unsaturated fatty acids, such as gamma-linoleic acid and eicosapentanoic acid. Once activated by a ligand, the receptor binds to promoter elements of target genes. Regulates the peroxisomal beta-oxidation pathway of fatty acids. Functions as transcription activator for the acyl-CoA oxidase gene. Decreases expression of NPC1L1 once activated by a ligand.
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus.
Tissue Specificity:
Ubiquitous with maximal levels in placenta and skeletal muscle.
Similarity:
Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR1 subfamily.
Contains 1 nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain.

类固醇受体（Steroid Receptors）
研究人员指出该分子的功能，极可能就是阻断心血管免疫发炎反应的讯号传递过程。PPAR－delta基因是控制肌肉发展的重要基因，在增加老鼠耐力的同时还能帮助它燃烧掉脂肪，研究人员发现，对于与新陈代谢有关的各项疾病，从心脏病到肥胖症都有启发性的意义，他可以阻止脂肪沉淀在动脉壁上，进而防止动脉硬化症的发生,该蛋白参与脂肪代谢、肥胖、糖尿病、动脉硬化和癌症的发病。
在动脉硬化现象发生的早期，免疫细胞会促使血管慢性的发炎，因而造成血管不断地吸收和输送脂肪，进而导致脂肪的堆积与血管硬化，而PPAR-delta就像警卫分子一样，时时降低发炎反应和抑制动脉硬化斑的形成，因此该分子应该是相关药物研发，相当值得切入的目标。
研究人员认为，这个发现将给药厂研发治疗心血管疾病的新药提供新的线索。
