Background	DFF is a heterodimeric protein of 40kDa (DFFB) and 45kDa (DFFA) subunits. DFFA (DNA fragmentation factor subunit alpha) is the substrate for caspase-3 and triggers DNA fragmentation during apoptosis. DFF is activated once DFFA is cleaved by caspase-3. The cleaved fragments of DFFA detach from DFFB (the active component of DFF), which in turn triggers DNA fragmentation as well as chromatin condensation during apoptosis. Apoptosis is accompanied by shrinkage and fragmentation of the cells and nuclei and degradation of the chromosomal DNA into nucleosomal units. A reduced level of DFFA detected in ovarian endometriosis may be a part of an apoptosis-resistant mechanism enhancing the disease progression.DFFA at chromosome 1 shows rare allelic variants in neuroblastoma tumors.
Description	DFFA Human Recombinant fused with 20a.a. His tag at N-terminus expressed in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 351a.a. (1- 331 a.a.) and having a molecular weight of 38.7kDa.The DFFA is purified by unique purification methods.
