Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily of ligand-dependent transcription factors which functions as a master regulator of adipocyte differentiation and metabolism. Here we review recent breakthroughs in the understanding of PPARγ gene regulation and function in a chromatin context. It is now clear that multiple transcription factors team up to induce PPARγ during adipogenesis, and that other transcription factors cooperate with PPARγ to ensure adipocyte-specific genomic binding and function. We discuss how this differs in other PPARγ-expressing cells such as macrophages, and how these genome-wide mechanisms are preserved across species despite modest conservation of specific binding sites. These emerging considerations inform our understanding of PPARγ function as well as adipocyte development and physiology.
