Molecular Studies on Staphylococcal Cell Wall Protein A

In the field of molecular biology, the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are a group of nuclear receptor proteins that function as transcription factors regulating the expression of genes (Michalik et al., 2006). PPARs play essential rolAccording to Feige et al., 2006 three types of PPARs have been identified: alpha, gamma, and delta (beta). Until recently, the biological role of PPAR delta remained unclear. Animal studies revealed that PPAR delta play an important role in the metabolic
