Peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs) are ligand-activated transcription factors that regulate metabolism. They are divided into three families: α, γ, and δ. PPARδ is activated by endogenous lipids, and plays a role in the regulation of lipid metabolism. Synthetic PPARδ agonists hold significant promise for treatment of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. (Note: In the literature, PPARδ is sometimes also called PPARβ).
