General description
Methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2) possesses a methyl-CpG-binding domain (MBD) and a transcriptional repression domain.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminus of human MeCP2 (amino acids 465-478) conjugated to KLH. The sequence is conserved in rat and mouse.
Biochem/physiol Actions
MeCP2 can bind to a single symmetrically methylated CpG pair. It is also capable of binding to chromosomes at sites known to have methylated DNA. MeCP2 silences transcription by recruiting the histone deacetylase (HDAC) repressive machinery via recruitment of the Sin 3A corepressor thus removing acetyl groups from histones and consequently silencing genes.
Methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2) has been shown be crucial for brain development. It is part of the methyl-CpG-binding proteins, which are involved in repression of gene expression by binding to methylated DNA. Mutations in the gene encoding MeCP2 have been associated with Rett syndrome (RTT).
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% bovine serum albumin and 15 mM sodium azide.

MeCP2 is a transcriptional regulator whose functional alterations are responsible for several autism spectrum and mental disorders. Post-translational modifications (PTMs), and particularly differential phosphorylation, modulate MeCP2 function in response to diverse stimuli. Understanding the detailed role of MeCP2 phosphorylation is

MeCP2 (CpG-binding protein 2) is a nuclear multifunctional protein involved in several cellular processes, like large-scale chromatin reorganization and architecture, and transcriptional regulation. In recent years, a non-neuronal role for MeCP2 has emerged in cell growth and proliferation. Mutations in
