title: [PPARs target genes].
abstract: PPAR(alpha, beta/delta, gamma) are ligand-dependent nuclear receptors and regulate homeostasis, cell proliferation/differentiation and associate with hypolipidemia, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and obesity. Through heterodimerization with retinoid X receptors (RXRs), PPARs bind the same consensus response element, formed by a direct repeat of two AGGTCA hexamers separated by one base. Recently, many PPAR direct and indirect target genes have been reported. Here, we summarize the PPAR direct/indirect target genes, and their functions related to lipid metabolism, adipocyte differentiation.
