Apoptosis is related to many diseases and induced by a family of cell death receptors and their ligands. Cell death signals are transduced by death domain containing adapter molecules and members of the caspase family of proteases. These death signals finally cause the degradation of chromosomal DNA by activated DNase. A human DNA fragmentation factor (DFF) was identified recently which was cleaved by caspase-3 during apoptosis. A mouse homologue of human DFF was identified as inhibitor of caspase activated deoxyribonuclease (ICAD). Upon cleavage of DFF/ICAD, a caspase activated deoxyribonuclease (CAD) is released and activated and eventually causes the degradation of DNA in the nuclei. Therefore, the cleavage of CAD inhibitor molecule DFF/ICAD, which causes DNase activation and DNA degradation, is the hallmark of apoptotic cell death. ABIN123030 detects DNA fragmentation factor 45 (DFF45) from human cells. This antibody detects both the cleaved and non-cleaved forms of human DFF45. ABIN123030 has been successfully used in Western blot and immunoprecipitation procedures. By Western blot, this antibody detects an ~45 kDa protein representing DFF45 from HeLa cell lysate. ABIN123030 immunizing peptide corresponds to amino acid residues 313-331 from human DFF40. ABIN123030 immunizing peptide (SP5431CP) is available for use in neutralization and control experiments.
