✦ Synopsis
A number of roles have been ascribed to poly(ADPribose) polymerase* including involvement in DNA repair, cell proliferation, differentiation and transformation. Cloning of the gene has allowed the development of molecular biological approaches to elucidate the structure and the function(s) of this highly conserved enzyme. This article will review the recent results obtained in this field.

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is an abundant nuclear protein in most of the eukaryotic tissues. When activated by DNA damage, PARP synthesizes poly(ADP-ribose) from NAD.

## Abstract In previous studies we demonstrated that liver poly(ADP ribose) polymerase (pADPRP) activity was lost in animals exposed to __N__‐2‐acetylaminofluorene (2AAF) according to the Teebor and Becker experimental model (Cancer Res 31:1–3, 1971). In addition, we used the resistant hepatocyte m
