Highest expression in adipose tissue. Lower in skeletal muscle, spleen, heart and liver. Also detectable in placenta, lung and ovary.
Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Redistributed from the nucleus to the cytosol through a MAP2K1/MEK1-dependent manner. NOCT enhances its nuclear translocation.
When you have been looking for information about the PPARG marker, you have probably already come across the company's signature ELISA products. However, you may not have realized that Boster Bio is now providing PCR-related molecular biology products. Depending on your needs, they can offer various services, such as free technical resources, technical support, and more. Let's take a closer look at how they can help you.
The PPARG gene encodes a protein that is expressed in the body and plays an important role in many processes. Scientists can identify and use PPARG to determine their metabolic rate and target fat. However, there are many factors that contribute to its inhibition. Fortunately, there are several natural ligands for PPARg. These compounds have a number of positive effects on the body, including increasing glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity.
PPARg is a ligand-binding protein with a cavity that is three to four times larger than the one in other nuclear receptors. These natural ligands can bind to the receptors and regulate the expression of target genes. These ligands have been shown to inhibit tumor development through activation of PPARg. Some eicosanoids are natural ligands of PPARg. Prostaglandin PGJ2 and leukotriene B4 stimulate PPARa and PPARg.
