Description de la cible

Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (UniProt: P51608; also known as MeCp-2 protein, MeCP2) is encoded by the MECP2 gene (Gene ID: 4204) in human. MeCP2 is a chromosomal protein that binds to methylated DNA and is present in high abundance and frequency at its target sites. It can bind specifically to a single methyl-CpG pair and is considered as a reader of the DNA methylome. It is shown to binds both 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC)-containing DNA, with a preference for 5-methylcytosine (5mC). It contains a methyl-CpG binding domain (MBD; aa 90-162) that is responsible for its binding to DNA. MeCP2 mediates transcriptional repression through interaction with histone deacetylase and the corepressor SIN3A. It is expressed in all tissues, but higher levels are present in neurons. Its levels increase during embryonic and postnatal development and then plateau off around the age of 10 years in humans. It can undergo multiple post-translational modifications at multiple sites by phosphorylation, ubiquitination, SUMOylation, acetylation, methylation, GlcNAcylation and poly(ADP-ribosyl)lations. These modifications affect its stability and functions. It is reported to be phosphorylated on serine 423 in brain upon synaptic activity that attenuates its repressor activity and regulates dendritic growth and spine maturation. Mutations leading to loss-of-function are known to cause Rett syndrome that leads to mental retardation. Most of these mutations have been found in the MBD region. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Forme physique

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb^® formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.

Reconstitution

30 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Stockage et stabilité

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
