specificity :
This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of PPAgamma. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between PPAgamma and analogues was observed. NOTE: Limited by current skills and knowledge, it is impossible for us to complete the cross-reactivity detection between PPAgamma and all the analogues, therefore, cross reaction may still exist in some cases.
storage stability :
Store all reagents at 2-8 degree C.
other info1 :
Samples: Serum, plasma, Cell Culture Supernatants, body fluid and tissue homogenate. Assay Type: Competitive. Sensitivity: 0.1 ng/mL.

Intended Uses: This PPAgamma ELISA kit is a 1.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed for the quantitative determination of Rat PPAgamma. This ELISA kit for research use only, not for therapeutic or diagnostic applications!
products description :
Principle of the assay: PPAgamma ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a monoclonal anti-PPAgamma antibody and an PPAgamma-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with PPAgamma-HRP conjugate in pre-coated plate for one hour. After the incubation period, the wells are decanted and washed five times. The wells are then incubated with a substrate for HRP enzyme. The product of the enzyme-substrate reaction forms a blue colored complex. Finally, a stop solution is added to stop the reaction, which will then turn the solution yellow. The intensity of color is measured spectrophotometrically at 450nm in a microplate reader. The intensity of the color is inversely proportional to the PPAgamma concentration since PPAgamma from samples and PPAgamma-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-PPAgamma antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by PPAgamma from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind PPAgamma-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The PPAgamma concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a member of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) subfamily of nuclear receptors. PPARs form heterodimers with retinoid X receptors (RXRs) and these heterodimers regulate transcription of various genes. Three subtypes of PPARs are known: PPAR-alpha, PPAR-delta, and PPAR-gamma. The protein encoded by this gene is PPAR-gamma and is a regulator of adipocyte differentiation. Additionally, PPAR-gamma has been implicated in the pathology of numerous diseases including obesity, diabetes, atherosclerosis and cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
uniprot summary :
PPAR-gamma: a transcription factor, member of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily. Receptor for hypolipidemic drugs and fatty acids. Preferentially expressed in adipocytes as well as in vascular smooth muscle cells and macrophage. Regulator of adipogenesis and lipid metabolism, modulates insulin sensitivity, cell proliferation and inflammation. Phosphorylated and inhibited by MAP kinase. Heterodimerizes with the retinoid X receptor. Interacts with NCOA6 coactivator, leading to a strong increase in transcription of target genes. Two splice-variant isoforms have been described.
