General description
The gene DNA fragmentation factor subunit alpha (DFFA), also known as DNA fragmentation factor 45 (DFF45), is mapped to human chromosome 1p36.2. The encoded protein localizes to the chromatin fraction. It exist in association with DFF40, thereby forming a heterodimer. DFFA is popularly called as DFF45 (DNA fragmentation factor 45).

Biochem/physiol Actions
DNA fragmentation factor subunit α (DFFA) is a component of DNA fragmentation factor (DFF). It is mainly associated with apoptosis and genomic stability. Caspase-3-mediated cleavage of DFFA releases DFF40 (DNA fragmentation factor 40) which degrades chromosomal DNA. During menstruation, the apoptosis of endometrium cells is associated with DFFA. Its expression decreases after menopause. Silencing of DFFA increases doxorubicin effects in breast cancer cells.
