Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARg; PPAR-γ; NR1C3) is a member of the orphan nuclear receptor family. Oxidized metabolites of linoleic acid, 9- hydroxyctadienoic acid (9-HODE) and 13-HODE are activators and ligands of PPAR-γ. PPAR-γ is expressed in white adipose tissue, intestinal mucosa, colon, spleen, monocytes, macrophages, retina, cartilage, osteoclasts and skeletal muscle. PPAR-γ plays important roles in lipid and glucose metabolism, and have been implicated in obesity-related metabolic diseases such as hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance, and coronary artery disease. Three members were called PPAR-α, -β, and -γ. Three N-terminal isoforms, called γ1, γ2 and γ3, are known to arise by alternative splicing and promoter usage from the PPAR-γ gene. RXR is an obligate partner for PPAR.

Isotype
Mouse IgG2a

Clone/PAD
A3409A

Immunogen
Produced in BALB/c mouse ascites after inoculation with hybridoma of mouse myeloma cells (NS-1) and spleen cells derived from a BALB/c mouse immunized with Baculovirus-expressed recombinant human PPAR-γ 1 (3-108 aa).

Specificity
This antibody specifically recognizes human PPARγ1 and γ2 and cross reacts with mouse and rat PPARγ?1 and γ2. This antibody does not recognize human PPARα and δ.
