The NF-κB/Rel family of transcription factors is comprised of several structurally-related proteins that form homodimers and heterodimers and include p50/p105, p52/p100, RelA (p65), and c-Rel/NF-κB. Acting as dimers, these transcription factors bind to κB sites on DNA, thereby regulating expression of target genes. The most common Rel/NF-κB dimer in mammals contains p50-RelA (p50/p65) heterodimers and is an attractive target for potential therapeutics in human inflammation and certain other diseases. Cayman’s NF-κB (human p50) Transcription Factor Assay is a non-radioactive, sensitive method for detecting human NF-κB (p50) DNA binding activity in nuclear extracts and whole cell lysates. It will not cross-react with NF-κB (p65).

PPARs are ligand-activated transcription factors belonging to the large superfamily of nuclear receptors. PPARα primarily activates genes encoding proteins involved in fatty acid oxidation, while PPARγ primarily activates genes directly involved in lipogenic pathway and insulin signaling. Members of the PPAR family are important direct targets of many antidiabetic and hypolipidemic drugs. Cayman’s PPAR Transcription Factor Assays are a non-radioactive, sensitive method for detecting specific transcription factor DNA binding activity in nuclear extracts and whole cell lysates.
