Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) catalyzes the NAD-dependent addition of poly (ADP-ribose) to adjacent nuclear proteins. PARP plays an important role in DNA repair but can also lead to apoptosis by depleting the cellular NAD pool. Experimental models have shown that PARP inhibition prevents tissue damage in animal models of myocardial and neuronal ischemia, diabetes, septic shock, and vascular stroke. Recent data implicate a synergistic function of Ku80 and PARP-1 in minimizing chromosome aberrations and cancer development. Trevigen's Universal 96-well PARP Assay Kit measures the incorporation of biotinylated Poly (ADP-ribose) onto histone proteins in a 96-well plate format. This assay is ideal for the screening of PARP inhibitors and for measuring the activity of PARP in cell and tissue extracts. Features: Colorimetric, non-radioactive format High throughput 96 test size Sensitivity down to 0.01 units of PARP per well Available with either a histone- coated plate or histone reagent   Applications: Identify inhibitors and activators of PARP activity Measure caspase inactivation of PARP Quantitate levels of DNA damage in cells caused by a variety of genotoxic agents Measuring activity of PARP in cell and tissue extracts   Components: Part # Component Size   4667-50-03 *200 mM 3-Aminobenzamide 60 µl   4667-50-07 *Histone Solution 700 µl   4671-096-02 *20X PARP Buffer 500 µl   4671-096-03 *10X PARP Cocktail** 300 µl   4671-096-04 10X Strep-Diluent 2.0 ml   4671-096-05 5X Coating Buffer 1.4ml   4671-096-06 *10X Activated DNA 300 µl   4671-096-07 *Natural Strip Well Plate 96 Wells   4677-096-P *Histone-Coated Strip Wells (natural) 96 wells   4800-30-06 Strep-HRP 30 µl   4822-96-08 TACS-Sapphire™ 10 ml   4668-50-01 *PARP-HSA 50 µl   *Components marked with an asterisk can be stored at -20°C for one year. **Contains biotinylated NAD and Activated DNA. *Histone Solution Cat# 4667-50-07 and 5X Coating Buffer Cat# 4671-096-05 in Universal Colorimetric PARP Assay Kit, Cat# 4671-096-K *Histone Coated Stripwell Cat# 4677-096-P in Universal Colorimetric PARP Assay Kit, Cat# 4677-096-K   Storage: Components are stored at -80°C and 4°C.   References: Eliasson, M., K.
