PPARδ Transcription Factor Assay Kit

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.
