Description | Recognizes the 32kD human Fractin fragment, but not full-length beta actin. Species Crossreactivity: mouse and rat. During apoptosis, beta actin is cleaved by activated caspase 3 between Asp244 and Gly245. This cleavage results in the release of an approximately 130 amino acid (15kD) fragment from the C-terminus of beta actin and a 32kD (244 amino acid) N-terminal fragment of actin, known as Fractin. The C-terminus of the Fractin fragment represents an apoptosis-specific neoepitope that is not antigenic in native full-length beta actin and therefore presents a novel and specific marker for distinguishing apoptotic from necrotic cells. |
Immunogen | Immunogen: Synthetic peptide corresponding to the last five amino acids, K-YELPD, of the C-terminus of the 32kD human Fractin fragment of beta-Actin. Species Sequence Homology: Mouse, rat, feline, porcine, ovine, bovine, canine, rabbit and guinea pig. |
