Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-beta (PPARGC1B)

Plays a part of stimulator of transcription factors and nuclear receptors activities. Activates transcriptional activity of estrogen receptor alpha, nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF1) and glucocorticoid receptor in the presence of glucocorticoids.

May play a role in constitutive non-adrenergic-mediated mitochondrial biogenesis as indicated by increased cerebral oxygen consumption and mitochondrial amount when overexpressed. May be involved in fat oxidation and non-oxidative glucose metabolism and in the regulation of energy expenditure.
