During apoptosis, beta actin is cleaved by activated caspase 3 between Asp244 and Gly245.
This cleavage results in the release of an approximately 130 amino acid (15kD) fragment from the C-terminus of beta actin and a 32kD (244 amino acid) N-terminal fragment of actin, known as Fractin.
The C-terminus of the Fractin fragment represents an apoptosis-specific neoepitope that is not antigenic in native full-length beta actin and therefore presents a novel and specific marker for distinguishing apoptotic from necrotic cells.
