ab253197 was shown to react with MeCP2 in wild-type HAP1 cells in western blot. Loss of signal was observed when MECP2 knockout sample was used. Wild-type and MECP2 knockout HAP1 cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membranes were blocked in 5% milk in TBS-T (0.1% Tween®) before incubation with ab253197 and ab8245 (Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5]) overnight at 4°C at a 1 in 1000 dilution and a 1 in 20000 dilution respectively.

Target data

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).
