Summary: Enables several functions, including MDM2/MDM4 family protein binding activity; NFAT protein binding activity; and enzyme binding activity. Involved in several processes, including behavioral response to nicotine; cellular response to fructose stimulus; and negative regulation of cell growth involved in cardiac muscle cell development. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Used to study hepatocellular carcinoma; hypertension; hypertensive encephalopathy; and periodontitis. Biomarker of alcoholic hepatitis; hydrocephalus; hypertension; obesity; and steatotic liver disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; coronary artery disease; hepatocellular carcinoma; lipid metabolism disorder; and myocardial infarction. Orthologous to human PPARA (peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
