Gene Information

General description

The protein encoded by this gene is a transcriptional coactivator that regulates the genes involved in energy metabolism. This protein interacts with PPARgamma, which permits the interaction of this protein with multiple transcription factors. This protein can interact with, and regulate the activities of, cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) and nuclear respiratory factors (NRFs). It provides a direct link between external physiological stimuli and the regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis, and is a major factor that regulates muscle fiber type determination. This protein may be also involved in controlling blood pressure, regulating cellular cholesterol homoeostasis, and the development of obesity. (provided by RefSeq)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator (PGC)-1α is implicated in the modulation of the expression of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) genes and endogenous antioxidants. Variation in the gene expression leads to Huntington′s disease (HD) and type 2 diabetes in humans. PGC-1α functions as a ‘molecular switch′ in genetic pathways involved in maintaining glucose homeostasis in liver and muscle, β cell insulin secretion and mitochondrial biogenesis. Addition to this, PGC-1α has a crucial role to play in adaptive thermogenesis, skeletal muscle fiber type switching, and heart development. PGC-1α reduces or improves muscle dystrophy muscle dystrophy by stimulating various molecular pathways; therefore, increase in the concentration and activity of PGC-1 is considered to be a potential method for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) treatment.

Data derived from several recent studies implicate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1alpha (PGC-1alpha) in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. Lacking DNA binding activity itself, PGC-1alpha is a potent, versatile regulator of gene expression that co-ordinates the activation and repression of

PGC-1α is a transcriptional coactivator induced by exercise that gives muscle many of the best known adaptations to endurance-type exercise but has no effects on muscle strength or hypertrophy. We have identified a form of PGC-1α (PGC-1α4) that results from

Genes & development, 21(7), 770-783 (2007-04-04)
The coactivator PGC-1alpha mediates key responses of skeletal muscle to motor nerve activity. We show here that neuregulin-stimulated phosphorylation of PGC-1alpha and GA-binding protein (GABP) allows recruitment of PGC-1alpha to the GABP complex and enhances transcription of a broad neuromuscular

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator (PGC)-1alpha is a member of a family of transcription coactivators that plays a central role in the regulation of cellular energy metabolism. It is strongly induced by cold exposure, linking this environmental stimulus to adaptive thermogenesis.

Molecular neurodegeneration, 4, 3-3 (2009-01-10)
Huntington's disease (HD) is one of the most common autosomal dominant inherited, neurodegenerative disorders. It is characterized by progressive motor, emotional and cognitive dysfunction. In addition metabolic abnormalities such as wasting and altered energy expenditure are increasingly recognized as clinical
