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

Predicted to cross-react with rat, pig, rabbit, rhesus monkey, mink and other vertebrates based on sequence conservation.
Recognizes PPARγ1 and 2, Mr 55-60 kDa. A non-specific protein was also detected, Mr 47 kDa after longer exposure.

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated, synthetic peptide (GEDKIKFKHITPLQEQ) corresponding to amino acids 256-271 of human PPARγ1 and amino acids 287-302 of human PPARγ2. The immunizing sequence is identical in mouse and rat.

Insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) act on highly homologous receptors, yet in vivo elicit distinct effects on metabolism and growth. To investigate how the insulin and IGF-1 receptors exert specificity in their biological responses, we assessed their role in

Insulin and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) have important roles in adipocyte differentiation, glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. Here to assess how these pathways can compensate for each other, we created mice with a double tissue-specific knockout of insulin and

In addition to increasing insulin sensitivity and adipogenesis, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma agonists cause weight gain and hyperphagia. Given the central role of the brain in the control of energy homeostasis, we sought to determine whether PPARgamma is expressed in

Cognitive impairment is a quintessential feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD mouse models. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) agonist rosiglitazone improves hippocampus-dependent cognitive deficits in some AD patients and ameliorates deficits in the Tg2576 mouse model for AD amyloidosis.
