DFFB
Description
The DFFB (DNA fragmentation factor subunit beta) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 1.
DFFB refers to DNA fragmentation factor subunit beta, a crucial enzyme involved in programmed cell death (apoptosis).
DFFB is a nuclease that plays a crucial role in apoptosis by initiating DNA fragmentation and chromatin condensation, leading to the characteristic morphological changes associated with programmed cell death. It also degrades naked DNA, further contributing to the apoptotic process.
DFFB is also known as CAD, CPAN, DFF-40, DFF2, DFF40.
