amsbio supplies a unique range of
Poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) assay kits, enzymes & antibodies for
DNA damage research.
Poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) catalyzes the NAD dependent addition of poly-ADP-ribose (PAR) to adjacent nuclear proteins. PARP plays an important role in DNA repair but can also lead to apoptosis by depleting the cellular NAD pool. PARP inhibition has been shown to prevent tissue damage in animal models of myocardial & neuronal ischemia, diabetes, septic shock, & vascular stroke.
PARP Assay Kits measure incorporation of biotinylated PAR onto histone proteins, allowing screening of PARP inhibitors & measurement of PARP activity in cell and tissue extracts. PARG Assay Kits allow screening of PARG inhibitors & measurement of PARG activity in cell extracts.
*Actual Times may vary depending upon the number of samples being prepared and assayed.
** Provided with a 96 strip well plate
PAR antibodies are specific for PAR polymers synthesized by a variety of PARP isoforms (PARP-1,-2,-3, tankyrase, vPARP, and others).
- PAR Polymer monoclonal clone 10HA
- PAR Polymer polyclonal antibody
PARP/PARG antibodies can be used for analysis of protein levels & cleavage of enzymes in apoptotic cells.
PARP/PARG Enzymes can be used as positive control in the Universal Assay Kits, for detailed mechanistic studies, in Western blot analysis in cell extracts, and for drug discovery applications.
Recombinant PAR Polymer (pADPr) With a chain length of 2 to 300 monomers.
PARP inhibitors:3-Aminobenzamide, 4-Amino-1,8-naphthalimide, 6(5H)-Phenanthridinone, Benzamide
PARP substrates:Biotinylated NAD, activated DNA, 10X activated DNA
