New PPARG mutation leads to lipodystrophy and loss of protein function that is partially restored by a synthetic ligand
31 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Familial partial lipodystrophy caused by mutations in the PPARG gene is characterised by altered distribution of subcutaneous fat, muscular hypertrophy and symptoms of metabolic syndrome. PPARG encodes peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)gamma, a nuclear hormone receptor playing a crucial role in lipid and glucose metabolism and in several other cellular regulatory processes. METHODS: PPARG...
