Uses
Anti-poly (ADP-Ribose) polymerase is used for western blots, immunochemistry, immunofluorescence and immunoprecipitation.
Uses
Monoclonal Anti-PARP (Cleaved-Asp214) antibody has been used in western blotting and immunohistochemical staining.
General Description
Monoclonal Anti-PARP (mouse IgG1) is produced by immunizing mice with purified calf thymus poly (ADPribose) polymerase as the antigen. This antibody recognizes a 116kDa protein which corresponds to PARP and the 85kDa apoptosis induced cleavage product of prICE (proteinase resembling interleukin 1b-converting enzyme) and CPP32 (cysteine protease). It also recognizes PARP from mouse, rat, hamster and primate sources, but fails to detect avian PARP.
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1)/PARP is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 1q42. It is a nuclear protein with molecular mass of 113kDa and is characterized with three functional domains. It belongs to the PARP superfamily.
Biochem/physiol Actions
PARP1 poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1) and its enzymatic product PAR controls cellular processes like DNA repair, chromatin remodeling, transcription and cell death. PARP1 regulates transcription. PARP1 can induce or block homologous recombination (HR).
