Goat MBD2 Polyclonal Antibody | anti-MBD2 antibody
Goat anti-MBD2 (isoform 1) Antibody
Immunohistochemistry: In paraffin embedded Human Colon shows nuclear stianing of enterocytes. Recommended concentration, 2-4ug/ml.
Western Blot: Approx 48-50kDa band observed in lysates of cell line Jurkat (calculated MW of 43.3kDa according to NP_003918.1). The observed molecular weight corresponds to earlier findings in literature with different antibodies (Tan et al, Mol Cell Biol.2006 Oct;26(19): 7224-35.; PMID: 16980624). Recommended concentration: 0.3-1ug/ml.

NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
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. The protein encoded by this gene may function as a mediator of the biological consequences of the methylation signal. It is also reported that the this protein functions as a demethylase to activate transcription, as DNA methylation causes gene silencing. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]
Uniprot Description
MBD2: 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. May enhance the activation of some unmethylated cAMP-responsive promoters. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Peptide ELISA: Antibody detection limit dilution 1: 64000. Immunohistochemistry: In paraffin embedded Human Colon shows nuclear stianing of enterocytes. Recommended concentration, 2-4ug/ml. Western Blot: Approx 48-50kDa band observed in lysates of cell line Jurkat (calculated MW of 43.3kDa according to NP_003918.1). The observed molecular weight corresponds to earlier findings in literature with different antibodies (Tan et al, Mol Cell Biol.2006 Oct;26(19): 7224-35.; PMID: 16980624). Recommended concentration: 0.3-1ug/ml. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MBD2 mbd2 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. The amino acid sequence is listed below: RNDPLNQNKG KPDLN. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "MBD2, Polyclonal 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
