| Immunogen | Synthetic peptide taken within amino acid region 436-486 on Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 isoform 2 protein. |
| Immunogen Region | 436-486 |
| Specificity | Antibody is specific to MeCP2 e2 and has no cross reactivity with MeCP2 e1. |
Additional Info
| Tissue Specificity | Present in all adult somatic tissues tested. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylated on Ser-423 in brain upon synaptic activity, which attenuates its repressor activity and seems to regulate dendritic growth and spine maturation. |
| 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). |
