Therapeutic Target Details

Target ID: T04
Target Name: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta
Synonyms: PPARD; PPAR-δ; PPAR-delta; NR1C2; NUC1; NUCI; Nuclear hormone receptor 1; Nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group C member 2; Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor beta; PPAR-beta; PPARB; PPAR-β; PPAR β/δ
GENE: PPARD
Action: agonist
Class: Nuclear hormone receptor
UniProtKB ID:Q03181
Entry Name: PPARD_HUMAN
Related Drugs: Bezafibrate; Elafibranor; Rosiglitazone
Mechanism: Activation of PPARβ/δ promotes fatty acid metabolism and suppresses macrophage-mediated inflammation; Hepatic PPARβ/δ is involved in transforming potentially toxic lipids into less toxic molecules by regulating monounsaturated fatty acid synthesis and increasing AMP-activated protein kinase activity, thereby suppressing lipogenesis and glycogen synthesis, reducing gluconeogenesis, and increasing fatty acid oxidation. PPARβ/δ also stimulates anti-inflammatory responses in the liver.
