MBD2 Antibodies
AND MBD2 ELISA kits, MBD2 Proteins
Many biological assays use antibodies to detect MBD2, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with MBD2 in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop MBD2 antibodies...
Designing a Western blot for MBD2? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.

MBD2 Overview
Facts about Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 2.
Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 2 (MBD2)
Binds CpG islands in promoters where the DNA is methylated at position 5 of cytosine within CpG dinucleotides. Binds hemimethylated DNA as well.
Recruits histone deacetylases and DNA methyltransferases. Acts as transcriptional repressor and plays a role in gene silencing.
