NA methyltransferases methylate the 5-position of cytosine in the context of CpG dinucleotides. DNA methylation is crucial for normal embryonic development, imprinting, and X chromosome inactivation. Methyl CpG binding proteins (MeCPs) specifically recognize methylated regions of DNA and repress transcription both directly and by association with known corepressor proteins which include members of the histone deacetylase protein families.
Synonyms: MeCP-2 protein, mental retardation, X-linked 16, mental retardation, X-linked 79, methyl CpG binding protein 2, methyl CpG binding protein 2 (Rett syndrome)
Application: Use Anti-MeCP2 Antibody (rabbit polyclonal antibody) validated in WB to detect MeCP2 also known as MeCP-2 protein, mental retardation X-linked 16, mental retardation X-linked 79, methyl CpG binding protein 2.
