PPARG, also known as Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma, is member of the nuclear hormone receptor subfamily of transcription factors. This protein regulates transcription of genes involved in Insulin action, adipocyte differentiation, lipid metabolism and inflammation. It is implicated in numerous diseases including obesity, diabetes, atherosclerosis and cancer. It also activators include prostanoids, fatty acids, thiazolidinediones and N-(2-benzoylphenyl) tyrosine analogues. PPARG may modulate macrophage functions such as proinflammatory activities, and stimulate oxidized low-density lipoprotein (x-LDL) uptake. Recombinant human PPARG protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques. Synonyms: NR1C3, CIMT1, GLM1, NR1C3, PPARG1, PPARG2, PPARgamma, Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma. NCBI no.: NP_619725
