Target data

Function

Nuclear receptor that binds peroxisome proliferators such as hypolipidemic drugs and fatty acids. Once activated by a ligand, the nuclear receptor binds to DNA specific PPAR response elements (PPRE) and modulates the transcription of its target genes, such as acyl-CoA oxidase. It therefore controls the peroxisomal beta-oxidation pathway of fatty acids. Key regulator of adipocyte differentiation and glucose homeostasis. ARF6 acts as a key regulator of the tissue-specific adipocyte P2 (aP2) enhancer. Acts as a critical regulator of gut homeostasis by suppressing NF-kappa-B-mediated pro-inflammatory responses. Plays a role in the regulation of cardiovascular circadian rhythms by regulating the transcription of BMAL1 in the blood vessels (By similarity). (Microbial infection) Upon treatment with M.tuberculosis or its lipoprotein LpqH, phosphorylation of MAPK p38 and IL-6 production are modulated, probably via this protein.

Notes

PPAR gamma Transcription Factor Assay kit ab133101 is a non-radioactive, sensitive method for detecting specific transcription factor DNA binding activity in nuclear extracts.

A 96 well enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) replaces the cumbersome radioactive electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). A specific double stranded DNA (dsDNA)sequence containing the peroxisome proliferator response element (PPRE) is immobilized onto the bottom of wells of a 96 well plate. PPARs contained in a nuclear extract bind specifically to the PPRE. PPAR gamma is detected by addition of specific primary antibody directed against PPAR gamma. A secondary antibody conjugated to HRP is added to provide a sensitive colorometric readout at 450 nm. PPAR gamma will not crossreact with PPAR delta or PPAR alpha.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are ligand activated nuclear receptors. Three PPAR subtypes have been identified: alpha, delta and gamma. PPARs can be activated by polyunsaturated fatty acids, eicosanoids and various synthtic ligands.

PPAR gamma is primarily expressed in adipose tissue and to a lesser extent in the colon, immune system and the retina. PPAR gamma was first identified as regulator of adipogenesis, but also plays an important role in cellular differentiation, insulin sensitization , atherosclerosis and cancer.

    3T3-L1 cells were differentiated to adipocytes with 1 uM dexamethasone (Dexamethasone, anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid ab120743), 1 ug x mL-1 insulin (Recombinant human Insulin protein (Active) ab123768) and 0.5 mM IBMX (IBMX, Non-specific cAMP and cGMP inhibitor ab120840). From the third day, the cells were grown in normal medium with the addition of only 1 ug x mL-1 insulin. From day six, the cells were cultured in normal medium for an additional two days. 40 uL of nuclear extracts were tested in duplicates (+/- SD).

    Panel A: Increasing amounts of positive control (total lysate) are assayed for PPAR gamma DNA-binding activity using ab133101.

    Panel B: PPAR gamma DNA-binding assays are performed in the presence of competitive dsDNA. The decrease in signal caused by addition of competitive dsDNA confirms the assay specificity.
