Human Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor Gamma Coactivator 1 Alpha (PPARgC1a) ELISA Kit
Principle of the Assay
The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to PPARgC1a. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody preparation specific to PPARgC1a. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After the TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain 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 PPARgC1a in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.
For Use with serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
Target Information
Transcriptional coactivator for steroid receptors and nuclear receptors (PubMed:10713165, PubMed:20005308, PubMed:21376232). Greatly increases the transcriptional activity of PPARG and thyroid hormone receptor on the uncoupling protein promoter (PubMed:10713165, PubMed:20005308, PubMed:21376232). Can regulate key mitochondrial genes that contribute to the program of adaptive thermogenesis (PubMed:10713165, PubMed:20005308, PubMed:21376232). 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:10713165, PubMed:20005308, PubMed:21376232). 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:16753578, PubMed:23142079). Induces the expression of PERM1 in the skeletal muscle in an ESRRA-dependent manner (PubMed:23836911). Also involved in the integration of the circadian rhythms and energy metabolism (By similarity). Required for oscillatory expression of clock genes, such as ARNTL/BMAL1 and NR1D1, through the coactivation of RORA and RORC, and metabolic genes, such as PDK4 and PEPCK (By similarity).

Performance Characteristics
| REPEATABILITY |
Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, middle, and high-level PPARgC1a were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively. |
| SENSITIVITY | The minimum detectable dose was 0.061ng/mL. |
| ASSAY RANGE | 0.156-10ng/mL |
| SPECIFICITY | This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for the detection of PPARgC1a. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between PPARgC1a and analogs was observed. Note: Limited by current skills and knowledge, it is impossible to perform all possible cross-reactivity detection tests between PPARgC1a and all analogs, therefore, cross reactivity may still exist. |
