Designing a Western blot for MBD4? 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 MBD4 Western Blot GuideFacts about Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 4.
Mismatch-specific DNA N-glycosylase involved in DNA repair.
Has thymine glycosylase activity and is unique for G:T mismatches within methylated and unmethylated CpG websites.Can also remove uracil or 5-fluorouracil in G:U mismatches. Has no lyase activity.
