Human, Chicken
Conjugated Peptide
Anti-MeCP2 antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to C-terminal portion of human MeCP2 conjugated to Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH).
This affinity purified antibody is directed against human MeCP2. This product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity purification. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with the antigen based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence to mouse, rat, and macaca fascicularis.
Application Details
ELISA, IHC, WB
Anti-MeCP2 Antibody has been tested in ELISA, Western Blot, and Immunohistochemistry. Expect a band at ~52 kDa in western blot using appropriate lysates or tissues. Positive control used U2-OS, A431, human cerebellum tissue, and Chicken Spinal Cord in WB, human tonsil tissue in IHC.

MeCP2 (Methyl-CpG Binding Protein 2) is a chromosomal protein that binds to methylated DNA. DNA methylation is the major modification of eukaryotic genomes and plays an essential role in mammalian development. Human proteins MECP2, MBD1, MBD2, MBD3, and MBD4 comprise a family of nuclear proteins related by the presence in each of a methyl-CpG binding domain (MBD). It can bind specifically to a single methyl-CpG pair. It is not influenced by sequences flanking the methyl-CpGs. MECP2 mediates transcriptional repression through interaction with histone deacetylase and the corepressor SIN3A. It binds both 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC)-containing DNA, with a preference for 5-methylcytosine (5mC). Anti-MeCP2 Antibody is useful for researchers interested in Rett Syndromes, SIDS, Mental Retardation X-Linked Syndromic 13, and chromatin binding pathways.
