DMAP1 Polyclonal Antibody

Methylation of DNA contributes to the regulation of gene transcription in eukaryotic systems. DNA methylation is predominantly found on cytosine residues that are present in dinucleotide motifs consisting of a 5' cytosine followed by a guanosine (CpG), and it requires the enzymatic activity of DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), which results in transcriptional repression of the methylated gene. DNA methyltransferase 1-associating protein (Dmap1) binds to methyl-CpG rich domains and mediate the transcriptional inhibition associated with DNA methylation. Dmap1 interacts with Daxx to enhanced Daxx-mediated repression of glucocorticoid receptor transcriptional activity. Daxx also protects Dmap1 from protein degradation in vivo.
