Cleaved PARP (Asp214) (19F4) Mouse mAb (Human Specific) #9546

Applications Reactivity Sensitivity MW (kDa) Isotype
W IF-IC IC H Endogenous 89 Mouse IgG1

Applications Key:  W=Western Blotting  IF-IC=Immunofluorescence (Immunocytochemistry)  IC=Immunocytochemistry
Reactivity Key:  H=Human
Species cross-reactivity is determined by Western blot.

Specificity / Sensitivity

Cleaved PARP (Asp214) (19F4) Mouse mAb (Human Specific) detects endogenous levels of the large fragment (89 kDa) of human PARP1 resulting from cleavage at aspartic acid 214. The antibody does not recognize full length PARP1 or other PARP isoforms.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing mice with a synthetic PARP peptide (KLH coupled) corresponding to carboxy-terminal residues surrounding Asp214 in human PARP.

Background

PARP, a 116 kDa nuclear poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase, appears to be involved in DNA repair in response to environmental stress (1). This protein can be cleaved by many ICE-like caspases in vitro (2,3) and is one of the main cleavage targets of caspase-3 in vivo (4,5). In human PARP, the cleavage occurs between Asp214 and Gly215, which separates the PARP amino-terminal DNA binding domain (24 kDa) from the carboxy-terminal catalytic domain (89 kDa) (2,4). PARP helps cells to maintain their viability; cleavage of PARP facilitates cellular disassembly and serves as a marker of cells undergoing apoptosis (6).
