Designing a Western blot for MBD1? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
Open the MBD1 Western Blot GuideFacts about Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 1.
Acts as transcriptional repressor and plays a role in gene silencing by recruiting AFT7IP, which subsequently recruits factors like the histone methyltransferase SETDB1. Probably forms a complex with SETDB1 and ATF7IP that represses transcription and couples DNA methylation and histone'Lys-9' trimethylation.

Nucleus. Nucleus matrix. Nucleus speckle. Chromosome. Colocalizes with the Ten-1 ICD form of TENM1 in foci associated with the nuclear matrix (By similarity). Nuclear, in a punctate pattern. Associated with euchromatic regions of the chromosomes, with pericentromeric regions on chromosome 1 and with telomeric regions from several chromosomes.
