Gene:
peroxisome proliferative activated receptor, gamma, coactivator-related 1
Gene ID:
209045
Symbol:
PPRC1
Species:
1000
Description:
The protein encoded by this gene is similar to PPAR-gamma coactivator 1 (PPARGC1/PGC-1), a protein that can activate mitochondrial biogenesis in part through a direct interaction with nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF1). This protein has been shown to interact with NRF1. It is thought to be a functional relative of PPARGC1 that activates mitochondrial biogenesis through NRF1 in response to proliferative signals.
