Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARA)

Ligand-activated transcription element. Key regulator of lipid metabolism.

Activated by the endogenous ligand 1-palmitoyl- 2-oleoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine (16:0/18:1-GPC). Activated by oleylethanolamide, a naturally occurring lipid that regulates satiety.
