Cyn Monkey PPARα Reporter Assay System

INDIGO’s Cynomolgus Monkey Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Alpha (cPPARα) Reporter Assay System utilizes proprietary mammalian cells engineered to provide constitutive, high-level expression of Cyn Monkey PPARα (nr1c1), a ligand-dependent transcription factor. Because these cells incorporate a responsive luciferase reporter gene, quantifying expressed luciferase activity provides a sensitive surrogate measure of cPPARα activity in treated cells. The primary application of this reporter assay system is in the screening of test samples to quantify functional activity, either agonist or antagonist, that they may exert against cynomolgus monkey PPARα.
