Mouse 5-mCpA Monoclonal Antibody | anti-5-mCpA antibody
5-mCpA antibody (mAb)(Clone 2C8H8A6)
DB: 1ug/ml
Dot Blot (DB)
(5-mCpA Antibody Specificity Dot blot analysis was used to confirm the specificity of 5-mCpA antibody for the 5-mCpA dinucleotide. Single-stranded DNA oligonucleotides (amount of oligo in nanograms listed on the left side of the blot) were spotted on to a positively charged nylon membrane and blotted with 5-mCpA (1 ug/ml dilution). Column 1: 5-meCpA. Column 2: CpA. Column 3: 5-meCpC. Column 4: 5-meCpT. Column 5: 5-meCpG. Column 6: Ap5mC)
Background: DNA methylation is important for regulation of transcription, and in processes including imprinting, gene silencing and cancer development. Methylation occurs predominantly at cytosine within the dinucleotide CpG (meCpG), which is frequently found in promoter regions near transcription start sites, as well as in promoters for functional non-coding RNAs. However, methylation at CpG dinucleotides makes them susceptible to both spontaneous deamination and enzyme-mediated deamination, resulting in thymine substitution (T/G mismatch) and the formation of a CpA dinucleotide in the opposite strand. Therefore, there is a strong correlation of CpG dinucleotide depletion or "suppression" with an observed increase in TpG/CpA dinucleotides.In mammals, there are certain cell types in which significant levels of methylation at CpA, (meCpA), CpT (meCpT), CpC (meCpC) is also observed, including embryonic stem cells, oocytes, primordial germ cells and neurons. Early observations suggest that meCpA, in particular, has different nuclear distribution than meCpG, and that meCpA may associate with active transcription rather than suppression.

Product Notes
The 5-mCpA (Catalog #AAA389043) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The 5-mCpA antibody (mAb)(Clone 2C8H8A6) reacts with Not Species Specific and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's 5-mCpA can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Dot Blot (DB). Applications Validated: DB: 1ug/ml. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the 5-mCpA for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "5-mCpA, Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
