Anti-Phospho-MECP2-Ser-80 antibody (STJA0005464)
SPECIFICATIONS
ClonalityPolyclonal
HostRabbit
ConjugationUnconjugated
IsotypeIgG
Immunogenphospho-MeCP2 (Ser-80) synthetic peptide (coupled to KLH) corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding serine 80 in mouse MeCP2. This peptide sequence is highly conserved in rat and human MeCP2, and has low homology to other nuclear proteins.

| Immunogen | phospho-MeCP2 (Ser-80) synthetic peptide (coupled to KLH) corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding serine 80 in mouse MeCP2. This peptide sequence is highly conserved in rat and human MeCP2, and has low homology to other nuclear proteins. |
| Specificity | The antibody detects a 75 kDa* protein corresponding to the molecular mass of MeCP2 on SDS-PAGE immunoblots of human PC3 cells treated with calyculin A and in mouse brain tissue. These reactivities are not observed after lambda phosphatase treatment. |
Additional Info
| 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). |
