Methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2) possesses a methyl-CpG-binding domain (MBD) and a transcriptional repression domain.
면역원
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.
생화학적/생리학적 작용
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).

Pervasive developmental disorder is a classification covering five related conditions including the neurodevelopmental disorder Rett syndrome (RTT) and autism. Of these five conditions, only RTT has a known genetic cause with mutations in Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2), a global repressor

Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) is essential in human brain development and has been linked to several cancer types and neuro-developmental disorders. This study aims to screen the MeCP2 related differentially expressed genes and discover the therapeutic targets for osteosarcoma. CCK8
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
The purpose of this study was to evaluate expression of methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) in epiretinal membranes from patients with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) and to investigate effects of inhibition of MeCP2 and DNA methylation on transforming growth factor (TGF)-β-induced retinal
Mecp2 is a transcriptional repressor protein that is mutated in Rett syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder that is the second most common cause of mental retardation in women. It has been shown that the loss of the Mecp2 protein in Rett
