Mouse PPARgC1a (Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor Gamma Coactivator 1 Alpha) ELISA (Small S

The test principle applied in this kit is Sandwich enzyme immunoassay. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Mouse PPARgC1a. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Mouse PPARgC1a. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain Mouse PPARgC1a, biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ± 10nm. The concentration of Mouse PPARgC1a in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve. Protein Function: Transcriptional coactivator for steroid receptors and nuclear receptors (PubMed:12754525, PubMed:15744310, PubMed:23217713, PubMed:9529258). Greatly increases the transcriptional activity of PPARG and thyroid hormone receptor on the uncoupling protein promoter (PubMed:12754525, PubMed:15744310, PubMed:23217713, PubMed:9529258). Can regulate key mitochondrial genes that contribute to the program of adaptive thermogenesis (PubMed:12754525, PubMed:15744310, PubMed:23217713, PubMed:9529258). Plays an essential role in metabolic reprogramming in response to dietary availability through coordination of the expression of a wide array of genes involved in glucose and fatty acid metabolism (PubMed:12754525, PubMed:15744310, PubMed:23217713, PubMed:9529258). Acts as a key regulator of gluconeogenesis: stimulates hepatic gluconeogenesis by increasing the expression of gluconeogenic enzymes, and acting together with FOXO1 to promote the fasting gluconeogenic program (PubMed:12754525). Induces the expression of PERM1 in the skeletal muscle in an ESRRA-dependent manner (By similarity). Also involved in the integration of the circadian rhythms and energy metabolism (PubMed:17476214). Required for oscillatory expression of clock genes, such as BMAL1 and NR1D1, through the coactivation of RORA and RORC, and metabolic genes, such as PDK4 and PEPCK (PubMed:17476214) [The Uniprot Consortium]
