anti-PGC-1alpha Antibody

PGC-1alpha

peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha, PPAR Gamma Coactivator-1, Pgc-1alphaa, PPAR gamma coactivator variant form, PGC-1-alpha, PPARGC-1-alpha, PPAR-gamma coactivator 1-alpha

The protein encoded by this gene is a transcriptional coactivator that regulates the genes involved in energy metabolism. This protein interacts with PPARgamma, which permits the interaction of this protein with multiple transcription factors. This protein can interact with, and regulate the activities of cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) and nuclear respiratory factors (NRFs). It provides a direct link between external physiological stimuli and the regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis, and is a major factor that regulates muscle fiber type determination. This protein may also be involved in controlling blood pressure, regulating cellular cholesterol homoeostasis, and the development of obesity.

0.5 mg/ml

Liquid

100 µg (0.5 mg/ml) affinity purified rabbit anti-PGC-1alpha polyclonal antibody in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.2, containing 30% glycerol, 0.5% BSA, 0.01% thimerosal

Affinity purified

Western blot

Western blot analysis (0.5-4 µg/ml). However, the optimal conditions should be determined individually. Jurkat cell lysate can be used as a positive control.

Shelf time: 12 months in temp.: -20 deg.C

gel pack

The antibody solution should be gently mixed before use.

This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.

If you buy Antibodies supplied by Biovision they should be stored frozen at - 24°C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°C.
