MBD4 Antibody - middle region: HRP (ARP34797_P050-HRP)

• Gene Name:

  Methyl-CpG binding domain protein 4

• Gene Aliases:

  MED1

• Gene ID:

  8930

• Swiss Prot:

  O95243

• Accession Number:

  NP_003916

• Host:

  Rabbit

• Reactivity:

  Human, Guinea Pig

• Immunogen:

  The immunogen is a synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human MBD4

• Target:

  MBD4 is involved with DNA methylation. DNA methylation is the major modification of eukaryotic genomes and plays an essential role in mammalian development. Human proteins MECP2, MBD1, MBD2, MBD3, and MBD3 comprise a family of nuclear proteins related by??he 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. MBD4 may function to mediate the biological consequences of the methylation signal. In addition, MBD4 has protein sequence similarity to bacterial DNA repair enzymes and thus may have some function in DNA repair. Further, MBD4 gene mutations are detected in tumors with primary microsatellite-instability (MSI), a form of genomic instability associated with defective DNA mismatch repair, and MBD4 gene meets 4 of 5 criteria of a bona fide MIS target gene.DNA methylation is the major modification of eukaryotic genomes and plays an essential role in mammalian development.

• Concentration:

  0.5 mg/mL

• Homology:

  Guinea Pig: 83%; Human: 100%

• Format:

  Liquid. Purified antibody is supplied in high phosphate PBS, 100 mm phosphate, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.6.

• Reconstitution:

  All conjugated antibodies should be stored in light-protected vials or covered with a light protecting material (i.e. aluminum foil) . Conjugated antibodies are stable for at least 12 months at 4C. If longer storage is desired (24 months), conjugates may be diluted with up to 50% glycerol and stored at -20C to -80C. Freezing and thawing conjugated antibodies will compromise enzyme activity as well as antibody binding.
