Our MeCP2 (C-terminus) rabbit polyclonal primary antibody from PhosphoSolutions is produced in-house. It detects human, mouse, and rat MeCP2 (C-terminus) and is antigen affinity purified. It is great for use in WB, ICC.

Immunocytochemical labeling of MeCP2 in rat PC12 cells differentiated with NGF. The cells were probed with MeCP2 (C-terminus) rabbit polyclonal antibody (MP4591) in the absence (left) or presence (right) of blocking peptide (MX4595). The antibody was detected using appropriate secondary antibody conjugated to DyLight® 594.

Western blot of adult mouse brain tissue lysate. The blot lanes were untreated (lanes 1 & 3) or treated with lambda phosphatase (lanes 2 & 4) then probed with rabbit polyclonals anti-MeCP2 (Ser-80) (lanes 1 & 2) or anti-MeCP2 (C-terminus) (lanes 3 & 4).

Target

MeCP2 (C-terminus)

Target Description

Methyl-CpG Binding Protein 2 (MeCP2) was identified based on its affinity for methylated cytosines within DNA. As a chromatin-associated multifunctional protein, MeCP2 has been implicated in regulation of transcription and chromatin structure. Mutations of MeCP2 cause Rett syndrome, which results from neuronal dysfunction and impairment in cognitive and motor functions. Regulation of MeCP2 activity may involve phosphorylation at multiple sites. Ser-421 in MeCP2 is phosphorylated in response to neuronal activity, calcium influx, and is dependent on Cam-KII. Alanine mutation of Ser-421 leads to defects in synapse development and activity. Ser-80 in MeCP2 is phosphorylated in HeLa nuclear extracts and neurons. Alanine mutation of Ser-80 attenuates MeCP2 chromatin association and leads to locomotor deficits in transgenic knock-in mice. Thus, phosphorylation of MeCP2 may be important for altering its function during neuronal activity.

Gene Name

MECP2

Molecular Weight

Antigen

MeCP2 synthetic peptide (coupled to KLH) corresponding to amino acid residues at the C-terminus of mouse MeCP2. This peptide sequence is highly conserved in rat and human MeCP2, and has low homology to other nuclear proteins.

Species Reactivity

Human, Mouse, Rat

Storage

Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.

Physical State

Liquid

Buffer

PBS + 1 mg/ml BSA, 0.05% NaN3 and 50% glycerol

Dilution Ranges

WB: 1:1000
ICC: 1:100

Conjugate

Unconjugated

Specificity

The antibody detects a 75 kDa* protein corresponding to the molecular mass of MeCP2 on SDS-PAGE immunoblots of human PC3 cells, rat PC12 cells, and mouse brain tissue.
