NCIt definition : Poly [ADP-ribose] polymerase 1 p85 (800 aa, 89 kDa) is encoded by the human PARP1
gene. This protein is released from the full length poly [ADP-ribose] polymerase 1
protein by caspase-3 cleavage and is involved in DNA repair.;
NCIt note : The presence of poly [ADP-ribose] polymerase 1 p85 can be assayed as a marker for
apoptosis.;
