MECP2 Antibodies
AND MECP2 ELISA kits, MECP2 Proteins
Many biological assays use antibodies to detect MECP2, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with MECP2 in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop MECP2 antibodies...
Designing a Western blot for MECP2? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.

MECP2 Overview
Facts about Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2.
Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2)
Chromosomal protein that binds to methylated DNA. It can bind specifically to one methyl-CpG pair.
It is not influenced by sequences flanking the methyl-CpGs. Mediates transcriptional repression through interaction with histone deacetylase and the corepressor SIN3A.
