Staurosporine-differentiated RGC-5 cells were cultured with or without 500 μM H2O2, & with or without 0.25 μM RSV for 24 h. (A) Western blot analysis shows a significant decrease in SDH expression (**p < 0.01) during H2O2 treatment which is attenuated by treatment with RSV (*p < 0.05). (B) Western blot analysis shows similar effects on SOD2 expression. The significant decrease (**p < 0.01) during H2O2 treatment, compared to controls, is not found in cells treated with RSV (*p < 0.05). (C) Protein extracts were immunoprecipitated with anti-PGC-1 alpha antibodies, blotted, & hybridized with anti-PGC-1 alpha & anti-acetylated lysine antibodies to assess the acetylation state of PGC-1 alpha. H2O2 treatment significantly increases the proportion of acetylated PGC-1 alpha (*p < 0.05) compared to controls, & RSV & SRTAW04 treatment each prevent this acetylation (*p < 0.05).

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 - BSA Free

Showing  1 - 4 of 4 FAQs Showing All
  • Q: Do you have any information about the specificity of NBP1-04676 with the methylated form of PGC1 alpha?

    A: According to UniProt, there are no methylated a.a. reported for this protein target.  However there are 13 N6-acetyllysine reported, and a.a. 413, 442, and 451 are included in the immunogen.  Since this is a polyclonal antibody, it's anticipated that this antibody will detect both unacetylated and acetylated PGC1 alpha, regardless of where or how many of a.a. (lysine) residues are modified.

  • Q: I am looking for a primary PGC1 alpha antibody against human to be used in fluorescence. However, it cannot be conjugated with FITC (Green). It has to be conjugated with something else (Gold, red, orange, blue or aqua). Do you have such a product? 

    A: NBP1-04676R is conjugated to DyLight 550 which is an equivalent of TRITC. NBP1-04676C is conjugated to DyLight 650 which is an equivalent of APC. One of these two should fit your needs.

  • 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.

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.

  • Q: What is the second band in the image from verified customer review: Western Blot: PGC1 alpha Antibody [NBP1-04676] - PGC1 alpha expression in lysates from Siberian hamster using anti-PGC1 alpha antibody?

    A: The second band in the customer review image on our datasheet is from their actin loading control. Our band just below 50 kDa in human kidney lysate has not yet been identified. It is possible that it was heavy chain IgG detection from the secondary

  • Q: Do you have any information about the specificity of NBP1-04676 with the methylated form of PGC1 alpha?

    A: According to UniProt, there are no methylated a.a. reported for this protein target.  However there are 13 N6-acetyllysine reported, and a.a. 413, 442, and 451 are included in the immunogen.  Since this is a polyclonal antibody, it's anticipated that this antibody will detect both unacetylated and acetylated PGC1 alpha, regardless of where or how many of a.a. (lysine) residues are modified.

  • Q: I am looking for a primary PGC1 alpha antibody against human to be used in fluorescence. However, it cannot be conjugated with FITC (Green). It has to be conjugated with something else (Gold, red, orange, blue or aqua). Do you have such a product? 

    A: NBP1-04676R is conjugated to DyLight 550 which is an equivalent of TRITC. NBP1-04676C is conjugated to DyLight 650 which is an equivalent of APC. One of these two should fit your needs.

  • 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.
