MeCP2 Antibody
Product Specifications
Background
MeCP2 (Methyl-CpG Binding Protein 2) is a chromosomal protein that binds to methylated DNA. It can bind specifically to a single methyl-CpG pair and is not influenced by sequences flanking the methyl-CpGs. MeCP2 has been shown to mediate transcriptional repression through interaction with histone deacetylase and the corepressor SIN3A (Nan et al., 1998) . Defects in MeCP2 are the cause of Rett syndrome (RTT) (Amir et al., 1999) . RTT is an X-linked dominant disease; it is a progressive neurologic developmental disorder and one of the most common causes of mental retardation in females.

Storage Conditions
Recommended that the undiluted antibody be aliquoted into smaller working volumes (10-30 uL/vial depending on usage) upon arrival and stored long term at -20° C or -80° C, while keeping a working aliquot stored at 4° C for short term. Avoid freeze/thaw cycles. Stable for at least 1 year.
Specificity
Specific for endogenous levels of the MeCP2 protein. Due to usually high charge, the protein runs at ~75 kDa in SDS-PAGE of mouse brain lysates.
