Biochem Physiol Actions: PPARGC1A (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ? coactivator 1-a) is a transcriptional regulator which plays a key role in insulin signaling and mitochondrial regulation. It controls metabolism in many organs. For instance, it regulates gluconeogenesis in hepatocytes, thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue, and mitochondrial biogenesis and fatty acid oxidation in the heart. PPARGC1A also attenuates oxidative damage. Mutations in this gene are associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is downregulated in prostate cancer. Presence of PPARGC1A inhibits prostate cancer progression and metastasis. However, presence of this protein gives selective advantages in breast cancer and melanoma cells.
