Beschreibung

Allgemeine Beschreibung

DNA methyltransferases methylate the 5-position of cytosine in the context of CpG dinucleotides. DNA methylation is crucial for normal embryonic development, imprinting, and X chromosome inactivation. Methyl CpG binding proteins (MeCPs) specifically recognize methylated regions of DNA. It represses transcription both directly and by association with known corepressor proteins which include members of the histone deacetylase protein families.

Spezifität

This antibody recognizes the C-terminus of MeCP2, which has been epitope mapped between amino acids 310-492.

Immunogen

Epitope: C-terminus

Full length, strep-tagged N-terminus of rat MeCP2.

Immunoprecipitation Analysis: A representative lot was used by an an independent laboratory to detect MeCP2 in various, mouse whole brain cell lysates (Jost, K. L., et al. (2011). PLoS ONE. 6(11):e26499).
Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Analysis: A representative lot was used by an an independent laboratory to detect MeCP2 in various, mouse WT, but not in MeCP2 knockout brain nuclear extracts (Jost, K. L., et al. (2011). PLoS ONE. 6(11):e26499).
Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A representative lot was used by an an independent laboratory to detect MeCP2 in various, GFP-meCP2 transfected C2C12 cells (Jost, K. L., et al. (2011). PLoS ONE. 6(11):e26499).
Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A representative lot was used by an an independent laboratory to detect MeCP2 in various, mouse WT, but not in MeCP2 hemizygous null brain tissue sections (Jost, K. L., et al. (2011). PLoS ONE. 6(11):e26499).

This MeCP2 antibody is validated for use in WB, IHC, ICC, ChIP & IP for the detection of the MeCP2 protein

Qualität

Evaluated by Western Blot in mouse brain tissue nuclear extract.

Western Blot Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution of this antibody detected MeCP2 in 10 µg of mouse brain tissue nuclear extract.

Zielbeschreibung

~75 kDa observed. Uniprot describes an isoform produced by alternative splicing at ~55 kDa The calculated molecular weight is 53 kDa, however MeCP2 has been observed between ~75-100 kDa in western blots (Jost, K. L., et al. (2011). PLoS ONE. 6(11):e26499).
