Abstract excerpt
The peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor gamma2 (PPAR gamma2) is a transcriptional key regulator of adipocyte differentiation. PPAR gamma2 can be inactivated by phosphorylation of a serine residue at position 114. A point mutation leading to an amino acid exchange at position 115 (Pro115Gln) was shown to preclude serine phosphorylation and to consecutively accelerate adipocyte differentiation emphasizing...
