Abstract
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are related transcription factors in the nuclear hormone receptor family. The regulation of PPAR activation by ligand-dependent and ligand-independent mechanisms has been intensely studied in efforts to develop new approaches to the treatment of pathological states. In particular, PPARγ has been a focus of study due to its important roles in insulin sensitivity and adipogenesis. Since its discovery, many regulatory coactivator complexes were shown to regulate PPARγ, many of them in the absence of ligand binding. This chapter will focus on those coactivator complexes shown to activate PPARγ transcriptional activity in a ligand-independent manner.
