Anti-CIDE-3 - 100 μg

DNA fragmentation, induced by DNA fragmentation factor (DFF), is one of the critical steps in apoptosis. DFF is composed of two subunits, a 40-kDa caspase-activated nuclease (DFF40) and a 45-kDa inhibitor (DFF45) . Recently a novel family of cell death- inducing DFF45-like effectors (CIDEs) has been identified. Human CIDE-3 is a novel CIDE. Two transcripts, CIDE-3 and CIDE-3alpha, are present in HepG2 and A375 cells. Consistent with its chromosome localization at 3p25, a region associated with high frequency loss of heterozygosity in many tumors, CIDE-3 may play an important role in prevention of tumorigenesis.
