Recombinant Human MeCP2 protein (His tag)
Product Specifications
Background
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) .
