Phospho-Mecp2 Antibody – Monoclonal

Methyl-CpG Binding Protein 2 (MeCP2) is a nuclear protein that is found to bind to symmetrical methylated CpG dinucleotide sequences. It is a transcriptional modulator that can alter gene expression epigenetically via binding to methylated DNA. It is involved not only in transcriptional silencing, but also in transcriptional activation, chromatin remodeling, and RNA splicing. Mecp2is a X-chromosome-linked gene, highly expressed in neurons. The mutations of Mecp2 are linked to Rett syndrome (RTT), which is a neurodevelopmental, autistic disorder that affects mainly females. Studies show that even the loss of a specific phosphorylation site of MeCP2 (e.g., S80, S421, and S424) disturbs normal maturation of the mammalian brain.

Small volumes of anti-Phospho-MeCP2 antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
