Cyn Monkey PPARg Reporter Assay Kit
Product Description and Product Data
This is an all-inclusive cell-based luciferase reporter assay kit targeting the Cynomolgus Monkey Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma. INDIGO’s cPPAR gamma reporter assay utilizes proprietary non-human mammalian cells that have been engineered to provide constitutive expression of the cPPAR gamma. In addition to cPPAR gamma Reporter Cells, this kit provides two optimized media for use during cell culture and in diluting the user’s test samples, a reference agonist, Luciferase Detection Reagent, and a cell culture-ready assay plate. The principal application of this assay is in the screening of test samples to quantify any functional activity, either agonist or antagonist, that they may exert against cPPAR gamma. This kit provides researchers with clear, reproducible results, exceptional cell viability post-thaw, and consistent results lot to lot. Kits must be stored at -80C. Do not store in liquid nitrogen. Note: reporter cells cannot be refrozen or maintained in extended culture.

Data
Target Background
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-gamma or PPARγ), also known as the glitazone receptor, or NR1C3 (nuclear receptor subfamily 1, group C, member 3) is a type II nuclear receptor that in humans is encoded by the PPARG gene. PPARs form heterodimers with retinoid X receptors (RXRs) and these heterodimers regulate transcription of various genes. PPARγ regulates adipocyte differentiation, fatty acid storage and glucose metabolism. The PPARγ knockout mice fail to generate adipose tissue when fed a high fat diet. Many insulin sensitizing drugs used in the treatment of diabetes target PPARγ as a means to lower serum glucose without increasing pancreatic insulin secretion. Additionally, PPARγ 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.
INDIGO’s Cynomolgus Monkey PPAR gamma (cPPARγ; nr1c3) Assay utilizes proprietary non-human mammalian cells engineered to provide high-level expression of cPPARγ. Reporter Cells also incorporate an cPPARγ-responsive luciferase reporter gene, therefore, quantifying expressed luciferase activity provides a sensitive surrogate measure of cPPARγ activity in the treated cells. The principle application of this reporter assay system is in the screening of test samples to quantify any functional activity, either agonist or antagonist, that they may exert against cPPARγ.
