Invitrogen™ Human PPAR gamma, Recombinant Protein

Description

PPAR gamma (human) Recombinant Protein, RP-75683, from Invitrogen.

The nuclear receptor functions as a transcription factor and plays and important role in controlling differentiation and fatty acid metabolism. Activation of this receptor appears to be vital in modulating the expression of metabolic control proteins and consequently controlling fatty acid metabolism in cardiac muscle. This marker may be a useful drug target for therapeutic intervention in cardiac disease. PPARy is also involved in the pathogenesis of important metabolic disorders such as obesity and non-insulin-dependent disbetes (NIDDM). This product contains purified recombinant human PPAR gamma protein with an N-terminal hexahistidine tag. This product may be used as a positive control in many immunological assays. This protein has a molecular weight of ∽59.2 kDa.
