anti-Human, Mouse MEF2C Antibody | anti-MEF2C antibody

MEF2C (Phospho-Ser396) Antibody

Cat. Num. AAA851826

• Gene Names: MEF2C; DEL5q14.3; C5DELq14.3
• Reactivity: Human, Mouse
• Applications: Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry, ELISA
• Purity: Affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. The antibody against non-phosphopeptide was removed by chromatography using non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphorylation site.
• Synonyms: MEF2C; MEF2C (Phospho-Ser396) Antibody; Myocyte enhancer factor 2C; Myocyte-specific enhancer factor 2C; Similar to MADS box transcription enhancer factor 2 polypeptide C; anti-MEF2C antibody

• Reactivity: Human, Mouse
• Specificity: MEF2C (Phospho-Ser396) antibody detects endogenous levels of MEF2C only when phosphorylated at serine 396.
• Purity/Purification: Affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. The antibody against non-phosphopeptide was removed by chromatography using non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphorylation site.
• Form/Format: In phosphate buffered saline (without Mg2+ and Ca2+), pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol.
• Sequence Length: 463

• Applicable Applications for anti-MEF2C antibody: Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), ELISA (EIA)
• Application Notes: WB: 1:500~1:1000; IHC: 1:50~1:100; ELISA: 1:1000
• Immunogen: The antiserum was produced against synthesized phosphopeptide derived from human MEF2C around the phosphorylation site of serine 396 (P-V-SP-P-P).
• All Sites: Human: Ser396; Mouse: Ser396
• Preparation and Storage: Store at-20 degree C for 1 year.

NCBI Description

This locus encodes a member of the MADS box transcription enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) family of proteins, which play a role in myogenesis. The encoded protein, MEF2 polypeptide C, has both trans-activating and DNA binding activities. This protein may play a role in maintaining the differentiated state of muscle cells. Mutations and deletions at this locus have been associated with severe cognitive disability, stereotypic movements, epilepsy, and cerebral malformation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

Uniprot Description

Transcription activator which binds specifically to the MEF2 element present in the regulatory regions of many muscle-specific genes. Controls cardiac morphogenesis and myogenesis, and is also involved in vascular development. Plays an essential role in hippocampal-dependent learning and memory by suppressing the number of excitatory synapses and thus regulating basal and evoked synaptic transmission. Crucial for normal neuronal development, distribution, and electrical activity in the neocortex. Necessary for proper development of megakaryocytes and platelets and for bone marrow B-lymphopoiesis. Required for B-cell survival and proliferation in response to BCR stimulation, efficient IgG1 antibody responses to T-cell-dependent antigens and for normal induction of germinal center B-cells. May also be involved in neurogenesis and in the development of cortical architecture (). Isoform 3 and isoform 4, which lack the repressor domain, are more active than isoform 1 and isoform 2.
