The PPARgamma ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of PPARgamma in various samples. PPARgamma is another term for the PPARG gene, which encodes the protein, peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma in humans. It has been reported that PPARgamma plays a role in the apoptotic pathway and cell differentiation, among other functions. Structurally, the PPARG protein is 505 amino acid residues in length and 57.6 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 3 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the nucleus and cytoplasm of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is reported be highly expressed in adipose tissue. This protein is known to be glycosylated, ubiquitinated and phosphorylated. Other names for this target antigen include CIMT1, GLM1, and NR1C3.
Some PPARgamma ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
