    Summary
    Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and lipid binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of appetite; positive regulation of fatty acid oxidation; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including enamel mineralization; positive regulation of cellular biosynthetic process; and wound healing. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; early conceptus; heart; liver; and oocyte. Used to study diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; coronary artery disease; hepatocellular carcinoma; lipid metabolism disorder; and myocardial infarction. Orthologous to human PPARA (peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
