Recombinant Human Deoxyribonuclease gamma(DNASE1L3)

Has DNA hydrolytic activity. Is capable of both single- and double-stranded DNA cleavage, producing DNA fragments with 3'-OH ends . Can cleave chromatin to nucleosomal units and cleaves nucleosomal and liposome-coated DNA . Acts in internucleosomal DNA fragmentation during apoptosis and necrosis . The role in apoptosis includes myogenic and neuronal differentiation, and BCR-mediated clonal deletion of self-reactive B cells . Is active on chromatin in apoptotic cell-derived membrane-coated microparticles and thus suppresses anti-DNA autoimmunity . Together with DNASE1, plays a key role in degrading neutrophil extracellular traps. NETs are mainly composed of DNA fibers and are released by neutrophils to bind pathogens during inflammation . Degradation of intravascular NETs by DNASE1 and DNASE1L3 is required to prevent formation of clots that obstruct blood vessels and cause organ damage following inflammation.
