Anti-Methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2) Antibody (4F11)
Our Anti-Methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2) mouse monoclonal primary antibody detects human, mouse, and rat Methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2), and is affinity-purified. It is validated for use in IHC-Frozen, WB.
Left: Staining of rat cerebellum section with mouse antibody to MeCP2 (1:500, red) and rabbit antibody to GFAP (R-1374-50, 1:5,000, green) by Immunohistochemistry. While MeCP2 is specifically expressed in nuclei of neuron cells, the GFAP antibody stains the network of glial cells. Blue: DAPI nuclear stain. IHC method: Following transcardial perfusion of rat with 4% paraformaldehyde, brain was post fixed for 1 hour, cut to 45 uM, and free-floating sections were stained with above antibodies. Right: Western blot analysis of MeCP2 expression in nuclear extracts from mouse brain. This antibody recognizes a strong and clear band at 74 kDa corresponding to_MeCP2. The molecular weight of MeCP2 is 52 KDa, however, on SDS-PAGE this protein migrates slower due to its unusual high positive charge density.

Product Details
Methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2)
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). Ref: uniprot.org

Spin vial briefly before opening. Reconstitute with 100 µL sterile-filtered, ultrapure water to achieve a 1 mg/mL concentration. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material. Store lyophilized antibody at 2-8°C. After reconstitution divide into aliquots and store at -20°C for long-term storage. Store at 2-8°C short-term (up to 4 weeks) with an appropriate antibacterial agent. Avoid repetitive freeze/thaw cycles.
