Quick Overview for PPARG antibody (N-Term) (ABIN117930)

Target: PPARG (Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor gamma (PPARG))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This PPARG antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA)

Product Details anti-PPARG Antibody

Binding Specificity: N-Term

Sequence: Peptide sequence: M-G-E-T-L-G-D-S-P-I-D-P-E-S-D-S

Specificity: This antibody is directed against Human PPAR gamma isoform 2 protein. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest reactivity with this protein from Human and Macaque based on 100 % homology for the immunogen sequence. Cross reactivity with PPARg2 protein from Dog and Swine is likely due to 94 % homology (15/16 identities) with the protein from these sources. Cross reactivity does occur with PPARg2 from Mouse. Mouse PPARg2 shows 87 % homology to the immunogen. Cross reactivity with PPARg2 homologues from other sources has not been determined. No reactivity is expected against other subtypes of PPAR.

Purification: Immunoaffinity Chromatography using the immunizing peptide after immobilization to a solid phase.

Immunogen: This affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a region near the amino terminus of Human PPAR gamma 2. PPAR gamma 2 is a 55 kDa protein.

Application Details

Application Notes: This affinity purified antibody has been tested for use in ELISA (1: 4,000-1: 40,000) and byWestern blot (1: 1,000-1: 3,000). Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized bythe end user. Expect a single band approximately 55 kDa in size corresponding to PPARγ2

Target Details for PPARG

Target: PPARG (Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor gamma (PPARG))

Alternative Name: PPAR-gamma

Background: Since their discovery in the early 1990's, the peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs) have attracted significant attention. This is primarily because PPARs serve as receptors for two very important classes of drugs: the hypolipidemic fibrates and the insulin sensitizing thiazolidinediones. Peroxisome proliferators are non-genotoxic carcinogens that are purported to exert their effect on cells through their interaction with members of the nuclear hormone receptor family termed PPARs. Nuclear hormone receptors are ligand-dependent intracellular proteins that stimulate transcription of specific genes by binding to specific DNA sequences following activation by the appropriate ligand. Upon binding fatty acids or hypolipidemic drugs, PPARs form heterodimers with retinoid X receptors (RXRs) and these heterodimers regulate the expression of target genes. There are 3 known subtypes of PPARs: PPAR-alpha, PPAR-delta and PPAR-gamma. The target genes of PPAR-alpha and PPAR-delta are primarily involved in the catabolism of fatty acids. Conversely, PPAR-gamma is activated by peroxisome proliferators such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes and anti-diabetic thiazolidinediones and affects the expression of genes involved in the storage of fatty acids. PPAR-gamma may also be involved in adipocyte differentiation. It has also been shown that PPARs can induce transcription of acyl coenzyme A oxidase and cytochrome P450 through interaction with specific response elements.Synonyms: NR1C3, PPARG, Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma
