PPARγ-regulated genes

GeneTissue/cell typeFunction

CCAT enhancer binding protein α (CEBPα) [7]Adipose/preadipose tissueTranscription factor. CDK2/4 inhibition-cell cycle arrest
Adipose differentiation related protein (ADRP) [50]Adipose/preadipose tissueAssociated with globule membrane, early marker of adipocyte differentiation
Lipoprotein lipase [49]Vascular endothelium, heart, muscle, adiposeLipid hydrolysis from lipoproteins
Adiponectin [49]Adipose tissue (secreted)Fatty acid catabolism
Adipocyte protein 2 (aP2/FABP4) [49]Adipocytes/macrophagesIntercellular lipid transport
Tumour suppressor candidate 5 (TUSC 5) [56]Preadipose/adipose tissueAssociated with entry into the later stages of adipogenesis
Glucose transporters 4 (GLUT) 4 [57]Wide tissue distributionInsulin stimulated glucose uptake
Uncoupling proteins 1-3 (UCP 1-3) [58]Adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, liverThermogenesis/thermoregulation
