AC-BP1067b
Background:
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). Each of these proteins, with the exception of MBD3, is capable of binding specifically to methylated DNA. MECP2, MBD1 and MBD2 can also repress transcription from methylated gene promoters. The protein encoded by this gene may function as a mediator of the biological consequences of the methylation signal. It is also reported that the this protein functions as a demethylase to activate transcription, as DNA methylation causes gene silencing.
Other Names:
Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 2, Demethylase, DMTase, Methyl-CpG-binding protein MBD2, MBD2
Target/Specificity:
The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP1067b was selected from the C-term region of human MBD2. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay.
Gene Name: MBD2 (HGNC:6917)
Gene ID: 8932
Primary Accession: Q9UBB5
Format: Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed.
