Background/Introduction: Poly ADP-ribosylation (PAR), the addition of several ADP-ribose groups to proteins, is a post-translational modification in eukaryotic cells that modulates the activity of the modified proteins and their interaction with other ones. This modification is mediated by poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) and ADP-ribosyltransferase 2 (ART2) that use nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) as a substrate. ADP-ribosylation can be reversed by PAR-degrading enzymes like poly (ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) and ADP-ribosylhydrolase 3 (ARH3) (Figure 1). Poly ADP-ribosylation is involved in different biological functions like carcinogenesis, differentiation and cell death. Dysregulation of ADP-ribosylation activity has been implicated in the pathogenesis of diseases like cancer, virus infections, and neurodegeneration. One of the most studied roles of ADP-ribosylation is the generation of PAR chains in response to DNA damage. These PAR chains are used to recruit repair proteins and chromatin remodelers. In consequence, DNA repair processes are enhanced. This could be a mechanism for tumors to escape apoptosis. Recently, several inhibitors of PARP family members have shown promise in treating certain cancers, and three drugs are commercially available in the US and Europe, mainly for the treatment of BRCA-mutant ovarian cancer. Poly (ADP-ribose) ELISA Kit is an enzyme immunoassay developed for rapid detection and quantitation of PAR levels in cell or tissue samples. The quantity of PAR in an unknown sample is determined by comparing its absorbance with that of a known standard curve. The kit has a detection sensitivity limit of 20 pM. Each kit provides sufficient reagents to perform up to 96 assays, including standard curve and unknown samples.
