PPARG in Human Adipogenesis: Differential Contribution of Canonical Transcripts and Dominant Negative Isoforms

Abstract excerpt

The nuclear receptor PPAR γ is a key regulator of adipogenesis, and alterations of its function are associated with different pathological processes related to metabolic syndrome. We recently identified two PPARG transcripts encoding dominant negative PPAR γ isoforms. The existence of different PPARG variants suggests that alternative splicing is crucial to modulate PPAR γ function, underlying some underestimated...
