Description
Rabbit Anti-Human MBD1 monoclonal antibody for ICC/IF, IHC-P, IP, WB. Transcriptional repressor that binds CpG islands in promoters where the DNA is methylated at position 5 of cytosine within CpG dinucleotides. Binding is abolished by the presence of 7-mG that is produced by DNA damage by methylmethanesulfonate (MMS). Acts as transcriptional repressor and plays a role in gene silencing by recruiting AFT7IP, which in turn recruits factors such as the histone methyltransferase SETDB1. Probably forms a complex with SETDB1 and ATF7IP that represses transcription and couples DNA methylation and histone Lys-9 trimethylation. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 can also repress transcription from unmethylated promoters.
