GENE - CHEMICAL INTERACTIONS REPORT

RGD ID: 732638
Species: Mus musculus
RGD Object: Gene
Symbol: Ppara
Name: peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha
Acc ID: CHEBI:18358
Term: methoxsalen
Definition: A member of the class of psoralens that is 7H-furo[3,2-g]chromen-7-one in which the 9 position is substituted by a methoxy group. It is a constituent of the fruits of Ammi majus. Like other psoralens, trioxsalen causes photosensitization of the skin. It is administered topically or orally in conjunction with UV-A for phototherapy treatment of vitiligo and severe psoriasis.
Chemical ID: MESH:D008730
Note: Use of the qualifier "multiple interactions" designates that the annotated interaction is comprised of a complex set of reactions and/or regulatory events, possibly involving additional chemicals and/or gene products.
