Description
Product Usage Information
Western Blotting: 1:1000
Storage
Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA, 50% glycerol and less than 0.02% sodium azide. Store at -20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.
Protocol
Available protocols: Western Blotting
Specificity / Sensitivity
Cleaved PARP (Asp214) (7C9) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of the large fragment of PARP1 (89 kDa) resulting from caspase cleavage. This antibody does not recognize full length PARP1 or other PARP isoforms.
Species Reactivity: Mouse
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic PARP peptide corresponding to carboxy-terminal residues surrounding Asp214 in mouse 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 (2,3) and is one of the main cleavage targets of caspase-3 (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).
