Expression of the SCPx gene is regulated by PPARalpha; mechanism of this regulation occurs mainly through binding and activation of two peroxisomal-proliferator-response element motifs found in the promoter of the SCPx gene.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
