Background

Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha (PPARA) a member of the steroid hormone receptor superfamily, is a nuclear transcription factor which mediates the activity of peroxisome proliferators. PPAR alpha exhibits the highest affinity with unsaturated fatty acids, and linolenic acids. PPAR alpha is expressed in brown fat, liver, kidney, heart, mucosa of the stomach and duodenum, retina, adrenal gland, skeletal muscle, pancreatic islets and smooth muscle cells. PPAR alpha plays important roles in lipid and glucose metabolism, and has been implicated in obesity-related metabolic diseases such as hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance, and coronary artery disease.

1. Please differentiate to me between PPAR and PGC clearly. I am confused with the difference between these two
   • Thank you very much for contacting Novus Biologicals technical support team and sharing your query on the differences between PGC-1 alpha and PPAR. These are two different proteins encoded by their respective genes and serves different functions. PGC-1 alpha (PGC1A or PPAR gamma coactivator 1-alpha) is a transcriptional co-activator for steroid receptors and nuclear receptors, and it regulates diverse aspects of cellular physiology. It up-regulates the transcriptional activity of PPAR-gamma /thyroid hormone receptor on the uncoupling protein promoter; regulates the key mitochondrial genes involved in adaptive thermogenesis; implicates in the metabolic reprogramming in response to nutrients availability through the coordination of the expression of a wide array of genes involved in the regulation of glucose and fatty acid metabolism. Among our PGC-1 alpha antibodies, NBP1-04676 is our best selling product with nice customer feedback and citations in at least 13 research publications. PPAR (PPAR alpha) on the other hand is a ligand-activated transcription factor which gets activated by the endogenous ligand 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine, and oleylethanolamide (a naturally occurring lipid that regulates satiety), and acts as a key regulator of lipid metabolism. It also acts as a receptor for peroxisome proliferators such as hypolipidemic drugs and fatty acids. It regulates the peroxisomal beta-oxidation pathway of fatty acids, and also functions as transcription activator for the ACOX1 and P450 genes. We have a variety of PPAR alpha antibodies. I hope you will find this information helpful but please let me know if I can support you with anything else from my end. Thank you very much for choosing Novus Biologicals as your quality reagent supplier and we wish you the best with your research projects.
