Anti-PPARg (Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor, gamma)

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor, gamma (PPARgamma) is a member of the ligand-activated nuclear receptor superfamily and functions as a transcriptional activator (1). PPARg is preferentially expressed in adipocytes as well as in vascular smooth muscle cells and macrophage (2). Besides its role in mediating adipogenesis and lipid metabolism (2), PPARg also modulates insulin sensitivity, cell proliferation and inflammation (3). PPAR gamma transcriptional activity is inhibited by MAP kinase phosphorylation of PPAR gamma at Ser84 (4,5). Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunoprecipitation. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1:1000, Immunoprecipitation: 1:50, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months.
