Product Specifications

Immunogen

Synthetic phospho-peptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding Ser421 conjugated to KLH. Accession # Q9Z2D6

Modification

p Ser421

Marker

Nucleus Marker

Specificity

Specific for the ~55 kDa truncated MeCP2 protein phosphorylated at Ser421. Immunolabeling of the MeCP2 band is blocked by preadsorption with the phospho-peptide used as antigen but not by the corresponding dephospho-peptide.

Clonality

Polyclonal

Host

Rabbit

Isotype

IgG

Theoretical MW

55 kDa.
Disclaimer note: The observed molecular weight of the protein may vary from the listed predicted molecular weight due to post translational modifications, post translation cleavages, relative charges, and other experimental factors.

Background: MeCP2

MeCP2 (Methyl-CpG Binding Protein 2) is a chromosomal protein that binds to methylated DNA. It can bind specifically to a single methyl-CpG pair and is not influenced by sequences flanking the methyl-CpGs. MeCP2 has been shown to mediate transcriptional repression through interaction with histone deacetylase and the corepressor SIN3A (Nan et al., 1998). Defects in MeCP2 are the cause of Rett syndrome (RTT) (Amir et al., 1999). RTT is an X-linked dominant disease; it is a progressive neurologic developmental disorder and one of the most common causes of mental retardation in females. Recent studies have reported a new phosphorylation site at Ser421. Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of this site may be involved in regulation of behavioral responses to chronic antidepressant treatment (Hutchinson et al., 2012).
