| Short Description : | Recombinant-Human MECP2-N-His protein was developed from e. coli and has a target region of N-His. For use in research applications. |
| Formulation: | Lyophilized from a solution in PBS pH 7.4, 0.02% NLS, 1mM EDTA, 4% Trehalose, 1% Mannitol. |
| Storage Instruction: | Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Store at 2 to 8°C for frequent use. Store at-20 to-80°C for twelve months from the date of receipt. |
| Gene Symbol: | MECP2 |
| Gene ID: | 4204 |
| Uniprot ID: | MECP2_HUMAN |
| Immunogen Region: | Met1-Lys177 |
| Immunogen: | Homo sapiens (Human) |
| 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). |
