Anti-PARP/PARP1 Picoband® Antibody (monoclonal, 2I2H4)-FITC Conjugate

Poly [ADP-ribose] polymerase 1 (PARP1), also known as ADPRT or PPOL is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PARP1 gene. PARP1 gene is mapped to 1q42.12. This gene encodes a chromatin-associated enzyme, poly (ADP-ribosyl)transferase, which modifies various nuclear proteins by poly (ADP-ribosyl)ation. The modification is dependent on DNA and is involved in the regulation of various important cellular processes such as differentiation, proliferation, and tumor transformation and also in the regulation of the molecular events involved in the recovery of cell from DNA damage. In addition, this enzyme may be the site of mutation in Fanconi anemia, and may participate in the pathophysiology of type I diabetes.

E.coli-derived human PARP recombinant protein (Position: Q670-R858). Human PARP shares 94% and 95% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat PARP, respectively.

Cytokine with a wide variety of biological functions. It is a potent inducer of the acute phase response. Plays an essential role in the final differentiation of B-cells into Ig-secreting cells Involved in lymphocyte and monocyte differentiation. Acts on B-cells, T-cells, hepatocytes, hematopoietic progenitor cells and cells of the CNS. Required for the generation of T (H)17 cells. Also acts as a myokine. It is discharged into the bloodstream after muscle contraction and acts to increase the breakdown of fats and to improve insulin resistance. It induces myeloma and plasmacytoma growth and induces nerve cells differentiation.
