General description

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear hormone receptors that can be activated by a variety of compounds including fibratus, thiazolidinediones, prostaglandins and fatty acids. Three PPAR subtypes, designated PPARα, PPARβ (also designated PPARδ) and PPARγ, have been described. PPARs promote transcription by forming heterodimers with members of the retinoid X receptor (RXR) family of steroid receptors and binding to specific DNA motifs termed PPAR-response elements (PPREs). PPARα is abundant in primary hepatocytes where it regulates the expression of proteins involved in fatty acid metabolism. PPARβ is the most widely distributed subtype and is often expressed at high levels. PPARγ is predominantly seen in adipose tissue where it plays a critical role in regulating adipocyte differentiation.

Specificity

Reacts with Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor alpha (PPARalpha). No cross reactivity with PPARbeta or PPARgamma.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide from amino acids 18-34 of mouse PPARalpha.

Scope: Disruptions of circadian rhythm cause metabolic disorders and are closely related to dietary factors. In this study, we investigated the interplays between the dietary conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)-induced hepatic steatosis and the circadian clock regulation, in association with lipid

Nonalcoholic-fatty-liver-disease (NAFLD) is the result of imbalances in hepatic lipid partitioning and is linked to dietary factors. We demonstrate that conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) when given to mice as a dietary supplement, induced an enlarged liver, hepatic steatosis, and increased

Salivary gland cancers are rare but aggressive tumors that have poor prognosis and lack effective cure. Of those, parotid tumors constitute the majority. Functioning as metabolic machinery contributing to cellular redox balance, peroxisomes have emerged as crucial players in tumorigenesis.
