It is involved in various cellular processes, including the regulation of hair growth, and is a target for certain immunosuppressive drugs used to treat conditions like alopecia areata, where the immune system attacks hair follicles.

Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
