Gene Information

General description

PGC-1 is a transcription factor that determines whether preadipocytes will differentiate into brown or white fat cells. It interacts with PPARgamma to promote the expression of a cassette of genes which define the brown adipocyte phenotype.

Specificity

Immunogen peptide blocking prior to Western blotting completely abolished target band detection by this rabbit polyclonal antibody.

Immunogen

Epitope: C-terminus
Synthetic peptide from amino acids 777-797 (C-terminus) of mouse PGC-1.

Application

Anti-PGC-1 Antibody is a rabbit olyclponal antibody for the detection of PGC-1 also known as PPARgamma Coactivator 1-alpha & has been validated in ELISA, Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry, Immunoprecipitation, and Western Blotting.
ELISA Analysis: A 1:75,000 dilution of a previous lot was used in ELISA.

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:300 dilution of a previous lot was used in Immunocytochemistry.

Immunofluorescence Analysis: Representative lots detected PGC-1α in frozen mouse and rat muscle tissue sections (Gouspillou, G., et al. (2013). Longev. Healthspan. 2(1):13; Matsuura, T., et al. (2007). J. Orthop. Res. 25(11):1534-1540).

Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A representative lot detected PGC-1α in free-floating mouse forebrain sections (Tallaksen-Greene, S.J., et al. (2014). J Neurosci. 34(47):15658-15668).

Immunoprecipitation Analysis: Representative lots immunoprecipitated PGC-1α from mouse liver, skeletal muscle, and brown adipose tissue lysates (Boutant, M., et al. (2016). Cell Rep. 14(9):2068-2075; Park, R.D., et al. (2014). J. Exerc. Nutrition Biochem. 18(1):1-7; Kim, J.S., et al. (2014). J. Exerc. Nutrition Biochem. 18(3):259-266; Philip, A., et al. (2011). J. Biol. Chem. 286(35):30561-30570).

Western Blotting Analysis: Representative lots detected similar PGC-1α in human, mouse, and rat skeletal muscle tissue, as well as in nuclear and mitochondrial preparations from rat brown adipose tissue (Suwa, M., et al. (2015). J. Sports Sci. Med. 14(3):548-555; Lee, I., et al. (2015). Front. Pharmacol. 6:43; Vincent, G., et al. (2015). Front Physiol. 6:51; Lombardi, A., et al. (2015). PLoS One. 10(2):e0116498; Gouspillou, G., et al. (2014). FASEB J. 28(4):1621-1633; Saleem, A., et al. (2014). Am. J. Physiol. Cell Physiol. 306(3):C241-249).

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blotting in mouse BAT extracts.

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution of this antibody detected recombinant mouse PGC-1, as well as endogenous PGC-1 in 15 µg of nuclear extract and whole cell lysate from mouse brown adipose tissue (BAT). Immunogen peptide blocking completely blocked target band detection.

The mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein responses (UPR(mt) and UPR(ER)) are important for cellular homeostasis during stimulus-induced increases in protein synthesis. Exercise triggers the synthesis of mitochondrial proteins, regulated in part by peroxisome proliferator activator receptor-γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α).
