    nuclear receptor protein regulating genes for fat storage and glucose metabolism

    Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma (PPARγ) is a type of nuclear receptor protein that regulates the expression of specific genes involved in fat storage, glucose metabolism, and inflammation. It plays a crucial role in the development of adipose tissue and is a target for drugs used to treat conditions like type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
