MBD2a Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. Catalog #: MBS841076

Background: The MBD family of proteins includes MeCP2, MBD1, MBD2, MBD3 and MBD4. MBD2 is highly similar to MBD3 but only MBD2 targets the MeCP1 complex to methylate DNA. MBD2 has two isoforms, MBD2a and MBD2b. MBD2a is a 414 amino acids protein, whereas… More details

UniProt Comments for MBD2a

MBD2: Binds CpG islands in promoters where the DNA is methylated at position 5 of cytosine within CpG dinucleotides. Binds hemimethylated DNA as well. Recruits histone deacetylases and DNA methyltransferases. Acts as transcriptional repressor and plays a role in gene silencing. May enhance the activation of some unmethylated cAMP-responsive promoters. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Cellular Component: heterochromatin; protein complex; nuclear chromatin; histone deacetylase complex; cytoplasm; nucleolus; nucleus; chromatin

Molecular Function: mRNA binding; protein domain specific binding; siRNA binding; nucleosomal DNA binding; methyl-CpG binding; DNA binding; chromatin binding

Biological Process: response to nutrient levels; maternal behavior; heart development; negative regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; response to organic cyclic substance; response to estradiol stimulus; regulation of cell proliferation; cellular protein complex assembly; response to mechanical stimulus; ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling; embryonic organ development; positive regulation of Wnt receptor signaling pathway; aging
