Other interactions of Dffb

  • Either caspase-activated DNase is activated by another enzyme, or a caspase-independent DNase is responsible for the DNA cleavage [16].
  • DFF40 is typically bound to the 45-kDa subunit of DFF (DFF45), and activation of DFF40 may occur as a result of caspase-3-mediated cleavage of DFF45 into 30- and 11-kDa fragments [4].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Dffb

  • In hamster brain, CAD immunofluorescence was also found in cells closely related to astrocytes, i.e., the Bergmann glia in cerebellum and the tanycytes surrounding the third ventricle [15].
  • At 24, 48, or 72 h after SE termination, protein levels of CAD and ICAD were measured by Western blotting (after sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) using specific antibodies [17].
  • We conclude that the use of cell cultures may prove valuable in studying the reversibility of CAD-induced phospholipidosis [18].
