Product Description
MBD2 Antibody [AMM22237G] | Leading Biology
Product Category: Monoclonal Antibodies
Host: Mouse
Species Reactivity: H
Specificity: This MBD2 antibody is generated from a mouse immunized with a recombinant protein between 10-228 amino acids from human MBD2.
Cellular Localisation: Nucleus. Note=Nuclear, in discrete foci. Detected at replication foci in late S phase
Molecular Weight: 43255
Clone: Monoclonal
Gene Name: MBD2 (HGNC:6917)
Gene ID: 8932
Function: 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. Functions as a scaffold protein, targeting GATAD2A and GATAD2B to chromatin to promote repression. May enhance the activation of some unmethylated cAMP-responsive promoters.
Summary: Tissue Location: Highly expressed in brain, heart, kidney, stomach, testis and placenta.
Form: N/A
Storage: Store at +4°C short term. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C or below. Stable for 12 months at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Application: WB, IHC-P
Dilution: IHC-P--1:100~500 WB--1:2000
Synonyms: Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 2, Demethylase, DMTase, Methyl-CpG-binding protein MBD2, MBD2
