| Description | INDIGO’s Cynomolgous Monkey PPARγ (cPPARγ; nr1c3) Assay utilizes proprietary non-human mammalian cells engineered to provide high-level expression of cPPARγ. Reporter Cells also incorporate an cPPARγ-responsive luciferase reporter gene, therefore, quantifying expressed luciferase activity provides a sensitive surrogate measure of cPPARγ activity in the treated cells. The principle application of this reporter assay system is in the screening of test samples to quantify any functional activity, either agonist or antagonist, that they may exert against cPPARγ. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-gamma or PPARγ), also known as the glitazone receptor, or NR1C3 (nuclear receptor subfamily 1, group C, member 3) is a type II nuclear receptor that in humans is encoded by the PPARG gene. PPARs form heterodimers with retinoid X receptors (RXRs) and these heterodimers regulate transcription of various genes. PPARγ regulates adipocyte differentiation, fatty acid storage and glucose metabolism. The PPARγ knockout mice fail to generate adipose tissue when fed a high fat diet. Many insulin sensitizing drugs used in the treatment of diabetes target PPARγ as a means to lower serum glucose without increasing pancreatic insulin secretion. Additionally, PPARγ has been implicated in the pathology of numerous diseases including obesity, diabetes, atherosclerosis and cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different isoforms have been described. cPPARγ Reporter Cells are prepared using INDIGO’s proprietary CryoMite™ process. This cryo-preservation method yields exceptional cell viability post-thaw, and provides the convenience of immediately dispensing healthy, division-competent reporter cells into assay plates. There is no need for cumbersome intermediate treatment steps such as spin-and-rinse of cells, viability determinations, or cell titer adjustments prior to assay setup.[INDIGO Catalog Nos.
