Background

DNA fragmentatation factor 40 kDa subunit (DFF40), also known as CAD, is a member of the CIDE domain-containing proteins. It is an apoptotic nuclease that is maintained in an inactive state by association with DFF45. Apoptotic signaling induces DFF45 cleavage and the release of DFF40. Active DFF40 exists as an oligomer and generates double stranded breaks in dsDNA. Alternate splicing of human DFF40 generates isoforms with substitutions and truncations either directly following the CIDE domain (which is aa 4‑80) or at the C-terminus. Full length human DFF40 (aa 1‑338) shares 76% and 74% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat DFF40, respectively.

FAQs for DFF40/CAD Antibody (FAB6289T). (Showing 1 - 1 of 1 FAQ).

1. Does Novus offer any CAD (caspase activated DNase) antibodies that specifically look at the activation state of CAD? And if so, how well does this antibody work with chicken?
   • CAD/DFF40/DFFB is inhibited by being bound by DFFA. Because of this manner of inhibition, antibodies will not be able to recognize the difference between activated and inhibited DFFB, so we do not have a product specifically for activated or inhibited DFFB and this product will probably be nearly impossible to make. Unfortunately, the human and chicken sequence appear to be divergent for any of our immunogens to recommend any antibody to test for cross-reactivity with chicken. I apologize for the inconvenience.
