| Uniprot ID: | MECP2_MOUSE |
| Immunogen Region: | C-Term |
| Specificity: | The antibody detects a 75 kDa* protein corresponding to the molecular mass of MeCP2 on SDS-PAGE immunoblots of human PC3 cells, rat PC12 cells, and mouse brain tissue. |
| Immunogen: | MeCP2 synthetic peptide (coupled to KLH) corresponding to amino acid residues at the C-terminus of mouse MeCP2. This peptide sequence is highly conserved in rat and human MeCP2, and has low homology to other nuclear proteins. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylated on Ser-421 by CaMK2 in brain upon synaptic activity, which attenuates its repressor activity and seems to regulate dendritic growth and spine maturation. Does not seem to be phosphorylated on Ser-421 in other tissues. |
| 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 SIN3. Binds both 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC)-containing DNA, with a preference for 5-methylcytosine (5mC). |
