Description

General description

Poly (ADP-Ribose) Polymerase (PARP) is a 116 kDa nuclear protein which is strongly activated by binding to DNA strand breaks. PARP plays a role in DNA repair as well as in other cellular processes, including DNA replication, cell proliferation and differentiation. During apoptosis, ICE family members, such as caspase-3 and -7, cleave PARP to yield an 85 kDa and a 25 kDa fragment. PARP cleavage is considered to be one of the classical characteristics of apoptosis. This antibody specifically recognizes the 85 kDa fragment of cleaved PARP and can be used as a marker for detecting apoptotic cells.

Specificity

Reactivity with other species has not been confirmed. This sequence is 86% homologous in mouse, rat, and hamster.

The antibody specifically recognizes the 85 kDa fragment of cleaved PARP and can be used as a marker for detecting apoptotic cells.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide corresponding to the N-terminus of cleavage site (214/215) of human PARP.

Application

Anti-PARP (214/215) cleavage site Antibody detects level of PARP (214/215) cleavage site & has been published & validated for use in WB & IC.

For Western blot applications, we recommend using the antibody at a 1:1,000 starting dilution.
