Reporter Assays

Bile acids are a diverse class of amphipathic molecules originally formed in liver and modified by microorganisms in the intestine. In addition to their conventional role in dietary lipid absorption, bile acids have been recognized as signaling molecules that regulate the synthesis and metabolism of bile acids,...

INDIGO's panel of PPAR reporter assays utilizes non-human mammalian cells engineered to express human peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors: PPARalpha (NR1C1), PPARdelta (NR1C2), or PPARgamma (NR1C3), all ligand-dependent transcription factors that are commonly referred to as PPARalpha, PPARdelta and...

INDIGO's reporter cells include the luciferase reporter gene...

Common reporter genes include beta-galactosidase, beta-glucuronidase and luciferase. The most versatile reporter gene is the firefly luciferase. Recently there is steadily increasing use of other luciferases, such as Gaussia luciferase since these reporters are smaller and do not require the presence of ATP. The...

Free fatty acid receptor 4 (FFAR4)/GPR120 is a G protein-coupled receptor for long chain fatty acids such as docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid omega-3 fatty acids. It is involved in the regulation of glucose uptake in adipocytes and mediates anti-inflammatory activity in macrophages. Cayman's FFAR4...
