| Short Description : | Rabbit polyclonal antibody anti-Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (313-363 aa) is suitable for use in Western Blot research applications. |
| Clonality : | Polyclonal |
| Conjugation: | Unconjugated |
| Isotype: | IgG |
| Formulation: | Liquid in PBS pH7.4, 0.5% BSA, 0.02% Sodium Azide and 50% Glycerol. |
| Purification: | The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen. |
| Dilution Range: | WB 1:2000 |
| Storage Instruction: | Store at-20°C for up to 1 year from the date of receipt, and avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Gene Symbol: | MECP2 |
| Gene ID: | 4204 |
| Uniprot ID: | MECP2_HUMAN |
| Immunogen Region: | 313-363 aa |
| Specificity: | The antibody detects endogenous MeCP2 proteins. |
| Immunogen: | Synthetic peptide derived from MeCP2 at the amino acid range 313-363 |
| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylated on Ser-423 in brain upon synaptic activity, which attenuates its repressor activity and seems to regulate dendritic growth and spine maturation. |
| Function | Chromosomal protein that binds to methylated DNA. It can bind specifically to a single methyl-CpG pair. It is not influenced by sequences flanking the methyl-CpGs. Mediates transcriptional repression through interaction with histone deacetylase and the corepressor SIN3A. Binds both 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC)-containing DNA, with a preference for 5-methylcytosine (5mC). |
