Description

DFFA Protein is a heterodimeric complex of nuclease CAD and its specific inhibitor ICAD. DFFA Protein, Human (GST) is a substrate for caspase-3 that triggers DNA breakage during apoptosis. DFFA Protein, Human (GST) is the recombinant human-derived DFFA protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-GST labeled tag.

Background

DNA fragmentation factor subunit alpha DNA (DFFA), also known as Caspase-activated DNase inhibitor (ICAD), is a human protein encoded by the DFFA gene. DFFA and DFFB are subunits of DNA break factor (DFF), substrates of caspase-3 that trigger DNA break during apoptosis. The C-terminal domain of DFFA (DFF-C) consists of four alpha-helices folded into a helical arrangement, with alpha-2 and alpha-3 arranged on a long C-terminal helix (alpha-4). The main function of this domain is to bind to the C-terminal catalytic domain of DFFB through ionic interactions, thereby inhibiting DNA breakage during apoptosis. DFFA plays an important role in cancer development[1][2][3][4].
