MBD2 antibody

 

See all MBD2 antibodies (8)...

Product type 

Primary antibodies

Description 

Rabbit polyclonal to MBD2

Immunogen 

A KLH conjugated synthetic peptide (10-30 aa in length) in the region of 160-177 of MBD2 (Human)

Reacts with 
(species key)

Hu, Ms, Rat

Specificity 

This antibody is specific for MBD2 (N term).
Rat - Abreview feedback has stated that this antibody works on rat prostate. It gives some non-specific band in rat testis, probably due to presence of other MBD isoforms.

Tested applications 
(see key)

ELISA, ICC/IF, WB

Relevance 

DNA methylation is the major modification of eukaryotic genomes and plays an essential role in mammalian development. Human proteins MECP2, MBD1, MBD2, MBD3, and MBD4 comprise a family of nuclear proteins related by the presence in each of a methyl-CpG binding domain (MBD). Each of these proteins, with the exception of MBD3, is capable of binding specifically to methylated DNA. MECP2, MBD1 and MBD2 can also repress transcription from methylated gene promoters. This protein may function as a mediator of the biological consequences of the methylation signal.
