Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

PPARγ (D69) Antibody detects endogenous levels of total PPARγ protein.

Source / Purification

PPARγ (D69) Antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Asp69 of human PPARγ.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from NIH/3T3 and NIH/3T3-L1 cells (differentiated 6 days) using PPARγ (D69) Antibody.

Background

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is a member of the ligand-activated nuclear receptor superfamily and functions as a transcriptional activator (1). PPARγ 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), PPARγ also modulates insulin sensitivity, cell proliferation and inflammation (3). PPARγ transcriptional activity is inhibited by MAP kinase phosphorylation of PPARγ at Ser84 (4,5).
