The truncated splice variant of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha, PPARα-tr, autonomously regulates proliferative and pro-inflammatory genes
29 Jun 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) controls lipid/energy homeostasis and inflammatory responses. The truncated splice variant PPARα-tr was suggested to exert a dominant negative function despite being unable to bind consensus PPARα DNA response elements. METHODS: The distribution and variability factor of each PPARα variant were assessed in the well-characterized cohort of...
