Phospho-MeCP2 (S423) Antibody [APG03024G] | Gentaur UK, US & Europe Distribution

Product Category: Polyclonal Antibodies

Host: Rabbit

Species Reactivity: H, Rat

Specificity: This MeCP2 Antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding S423 of human MeCP2.

Cellular Localisation: Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9Z2D6}. Note=Colocalized with methyl-CpG in the genome. Colocalized with TBL1X to the heterochromatin foci.

Molecular Weight: 52441

Clone: Polyclonal

Gene Name: MECP2

Gene ID: 4204

Function: 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) .

Summary: Tissue Location: Present in all adult somatic tissues tested.

Form: Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification.

Storage: Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Application: IHC-P-Leica, WB

Dilution: IHC-P-Leica--1:500 WB--1:500

Synonyms: Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2, MeCp-2 protein, MeCp2, MECP2
