| Gene Symbol: | MECP2 |
| Gene ID: | 4204 |
| Uniprot ID: | MECP2_HUMAN |
| Immunogen Region: | 1-50 |
| Specificity: | This blocking peptide is recommended for use in combination with MeCP2 isoform 1 antibody, STJ501738 |
| Immunogen: | Synthetic peptide taken within amino acid region 1-50 on mouse methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 isoform 1. |
| Tissue Specificity | Present in all adult somatic tissues tested. |
| 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). |
