Human Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Beta/Delta Reporter Assay System

These PPARδ Reporter Assay Systems utilize non-human mammalian cells engineered to express human PPARδ.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPARδ or PPARβ), also known as NR1C2 is a nuclear receptor encoded by the PPARδ gene. This protein is a potential inhibitor of ligand-induced transcription activity of PPARα and PPARγ. It may function as an integrator of transcription repression and nuclear receptor signaling. The expression of PPARδ gene is found to be elevated in colorectal cancer cells. The elevated expression can be repressed by adenomatosis polyposis coli (APC), a tumor suppressor protein involved in the APC/beta-catenin signaling pathway. Knockout studies in mice suggested the role of PPARδ in myelination of the corpus callosum, epidermal cell proliferation, and glucose and lipid metabolism. PPARδ has been shown to be involved in differentiation, lipid accumulation, directional sensing, polarization, and migration in keratinocytes.

PPAR Reporter Cells are prepared using INDIGO’s proprietary CryoMite™ process. This cryo-preservation method yields high cell viability post-thaw, and provides the convenience of immediately dispensing healthy, division-competent reporter cells into assay plates. There is no need for intermediate spin-and-wash steps, viability determinations, or cell titer adjustments.[INDIGO Catalog Nos. IB00121-32, IB00121, IB00122]
