Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
(At 1/100 staining mouse liver tissue sections by IHC-P. The tissue was formaldehyde fixed and a heat mediated antigen retrieval step in citrate buffer was performed. The tissue was then blocked and incubated with the antibody for 1.5 hours at 22 degree C. An HRP conjugated goat anti-rabbit antibody was used as the secondary)

Post Translational Modifications: Phosphorylated on Ser-444 by CDK5 is required for Lys-439 sumoylation and inhibits transcriptional activity. In neurons, enhanced CDK5 activity induced by neurotoxins promotes caspase 3-mediated cleavage leading to neuron apoptosis. Phosphorylation on Ser-180 can be enhanced by EGF. Phosphorylated and activated by CaMK4. Acetylated on Lys-439 by CREBBP. Acetylated by EP300. Deacetylated by SIRT1 and HDAC3. Sumoylated on Lys-439 with SUMO2 but not SUMO1; which inhibits transcriptional activity and myogenic activity. Desumoylated by SENP3. Proteolytically cleaved in cerebellar granule neurons on several sites by caspase 7 following neurotoxicity. Preferentially cleaves the CDK5-mediated hyperphosphorylated form which leads to neuron apoptosis and transcriptional inactivation (By similarity).
Subunit Structure: Interacts with MYOG (By similarity). Forms a complex with class II HDACs in undifferentiating cells. On myogenic differentiation, HDACs are released into the cytoplasm allowing MEF2s to interact with other proteins for activation. Interacts with HDAC4 (in undifferentiating cells); the interaction translocates MEF2D to nuclear dots. Forms a heterodimer with MEF2A. Interacts with MAPK7; the interaction phosphorylates but does not activate MEF2D (By similarity). Interacts with CCAR2 and HDAC3.
Similarity: The beta domain, missing in a number of isoforms, is required for enhancement of transcriptional activity. Belongs to the MEF2 family.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Predicted: 56 kDa
NCBI Description
This gene is a member of the myocyte-specific enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) family of transcription factors. Members of this family are involved in control of muscle and neuronal cell differentiation and development, and are regulated by class II histone deacetylases. Fusions of the encoded protein with Deleted in Azoospermia-Associated Protein 1 (DAZAP1) due to a translocation have been found in an acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell line, suggesting a role in leukemogenesis. The encoded protein may also be involved in Parkinson disease and myotonic dystrophy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2012]
Uniprot Description
MEF2D: transcription factor which binds specifically to the MEF2 element present in the regulatory regions of many muscle-specific genes. May be involved in muscle-specific and/or growth factor-related transcription. Six splice-variant isoforms have been described.
Protein type: Transcription factor; DNA-binding
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 1q12-q23
Cellular Component: nucleoplasm; intracellular membrane-bound organelle; nucleus

AAA Biotech's MEF2D can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Peptide ELISA (EIA). WB: 1:500-1:2000 IHC: 1:50-1:200 ELISA (Peptide): 1:20000-1:40000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MEF2D mef2d 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 "MEF2D, 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
