Host:: Rabbit
Immunogen:: Synthetic peptide corresponding to human MeCP2. Species sequence homology: equine (100%), rabbit (100%), canine (100%)
Format:: Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.4, 0.02% sodium azide, 50% glycerol.
Extra Details:: 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). Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and ELISA. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1:1000-2000 Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only.
