General description
PGC-1 is a transcription factor that determines whether preadipocytes will differentiate into brown or white fat cells. It interacts with PPARgamma to promote the expression of a cassette of genes which define the brown adipocyte phenotype.
Specificity
Immunogen peptide blocking prior to Western blotting completely abolished target band detection by this rabbit polyclonal antibody.
Immunogen
Epitope: C-terminus
Synthetic peptide from amino acids 777-797 (C-terminus) of mouse PGC-1.
Application
Anti-PGC-1 Antibody is a rabbit olyclponal antibody for the detection of PGC-1 also known as PPARgamma Coactivator 1-alpha & has been validated in ELISA, Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry, Immunoprecipitation, and Western Blotting.
ELISA Analysis: A 1:75,000 dilution of a previous lot was used in ELISA.
Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:300 dilution of a previous lot was used in Immunocytochemistry.
Immunofluorescence Analysis: Representative lots detected PGC-1α in frozen mouse and rat muscle tissue sections (Gouspillou, G., et al. (2013). Longev. Healthspan. 2(1):13; Matsuura, T., et al. (2007). J. Orthop. Res. 25(11):1534-1540).
Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A representative lot detected PGC-1α in free-floating mouse forebrain sections (Tallaksen-Greene, S.J., et al. (2014). J Neurosci. 34(47):15658-15668).
Immunoprecipitation Analysis: Representative lots immunoprecipitated PGC-1α from mouse liver, skeletal muscle, and brown adipose tissue lysates (Boutant, M., et al. (2016). Cell Rep. 14(9):2068-2075; Park, R.D., et al. (2014). J. Exerc. Nutrition Biochem. 18(1):1-7; Kim, J.S., et al. (2014). J. Exerc. Nutrition Biochem. 18(3):259-266; Philip, A., et al. (2011). J. Biol. Chem. 286(35):30561-30570).
Western Blotting Analysis: Representative lots detected similar PGC-1α in human, mouse, and rat skeletal muscle tissue, as well as in nuclear and mitochondrial preparations from rat brown adipose tissue (Suwa, M., et al. (2015). J. Sports Sci. Med. 14(3):548-555; Lee, I., et al. (2015). Front. Pharmacol. 6:43; Vincent, G., et al. (2015). Front Physiol. 6:51; Lombardi, A., et al. (2015).
