About Ppargc1a

Chromosome 5: 51,611,592-51,725,068 reverse strand.GRCm39:CM000998.3

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 206 orthologues, 2 paralogues and is associated with 99 phenotypes. Broad expression in heart adult (RPKM 4.1), frontal lobe adult (RPKM 3.9) and 22 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a transcriptional coactivator that induces and coordinates gene expression regulating mitochondrial biogenesis, respiration, hepatic gluconeogenesis, thermogenic program in brown fat and muscle fiber-type switching. Mice lacking the encoded protein exhibit reduced thermogenic capacity, hyperactivity and resistance to diet-induced obesity. Mice lacking the encoded protein specifically in the heart exhibit peripartum cardiomyopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
