Conjugated Peptide
Anti-MeCP2 pS80 Antibody was produced in rabbit by repeated immunizations with MeCP Ser80 - Synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding Ser 80 conjugated to KLH.
Anti-MeCP2 pS80 antibody was prepared from monospecific neat serum. This antibody is specific for the ~75 kDa MECP2 protein phosphorylated at Ser 80 in Western blots of human, rat and mouse brain extracts. Reactivity is expected against mouse and rat.
P51608 - UniProtKB
Application Details
IHC, WB
Anti-MeCP2 pS80 (Rabbit) has been tested in Western Blotting and IHC. Expect ~75kDa in WB. Anti-MeCP2 pS80 antibodies have been used successfully for IHS on mouse brain sections. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Researchers should determine optimal titers for applications that are not stated below.
Formulation
Titrated value sufficient to run approximately 10 mini blots.
0.01 M HEPES, 0.15 M Sodium Chloride, pH 7.5

Anti-MeCP2 pS80 antibody detects MeCP2 when phosphorylated at Ser80. MECP2 (Methyl-CpG Binding Protein 2) is a chromosomal protein that binds to methylated DNA. It can bind specifically to a single methyl-CpG pair and is not influenced by sequences flanking the methyl-CpGs. MECP2 has been shown to mediate transcriptional repression through interaction with histone deacetylase and the corepressor SIN3A. Defects in MECP2 are the cause of Rett syndrome (RTT). RTT is an X-linked dominant disease, it is a progressive neurologic developmental disorder and one of the most common causes of mental retardation in females. Recent studies have reported a new phosphorylation site at Ser80. Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of this site may be involved in modulating the dynamic function of MECP2 in neurons transiting between resting and active states within neural circuits that underlie behaviors.
