Background: PGC1 alpha

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1alpha), PPAR-gamma coactivator 1-alpha, PPARGC-1-alpha (theoretical molecular weight 91 kDa) belongs to a family of transcription coactivators which includes two other proteins; PGC-1beta and PGC-1-related coactivators. PGC1 alpha interacts with various transcription factors (e.g., FOXO1, PPAR-(alpha, delta and gamma), LXR and FXR), promoting the transactivation of their specific target genes (1). As a transcription coactivator, PGC1 alpha is found in the nucleus where it interacts with transcriptional activators and chromatin modifiers such as p300/CBP and SRC-1 to induce targeted gene expression (1, 2). Transcription factors which interact with PGC1 alpha are involved in several functions related to cellular energy homeostasis including mitochondrial biogenesis, glucose and fatty acid metabolism, and skeletal muscle remodeling. Upstream regulators of PGC1 alpha activity include proteins that play a central role as energy sensors including SIRT1 and AMPK which, through different mechanisms, induce PGC1 alpha activity (3).

PGC1 alpha is highly expressed in skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and brown adipose tissue, all tissues with high oxidative capacity (1, 2). PGC1 alpha is also induced by energy taxing physiological states, for example increased physical activity, reduced body temperature, and reduced food intake (3). Because of its role in pathways controlling cellular energy expenditure, PGC1 alpha dysfunction has been associated with pathophysiological conditions such as type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome (3).

FAQs for PGC1 alpha Antibody

Showing  1 - 3 of 3 FAQs Showing All
  • Q: I wanted information on your primary antibody for PGC1 alpha NB100-60955, whether it detects the phosphorylated PGC1 alpha protein, or if it just detects the total PGC1 alpha protein.

    A: NB100-60955 is not specific for a particular phosphorylated form of PGC1 alpha. This protein is only phosphorylated on two residues but has 13 known acetylation sites, which is why the protein is detected at around 100 kDa instead of the predicted 91 kDa. This antibody should detect the unphosphorylated and unacetylated form as well, if they are present in your sample.

  • Q: My question is whether this antibody (PGC1 alpha Antibody) detects the phosphorylated PGC1 alpha protein? Or if it just detects the total PGC1 alpha protein?

  • Q: Please differentiate to me between PPAR and PGC clearly. I am confused with the difference between these two

    A: 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.
