Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 1 (gene MBD1) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot and flow cytometry. The predicted molecular weight is 66.6 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 67 kDa.
MBD1 is a methyl-CpG-binding domain protein that recognizes methylated DNA and represses transcription. It recruits histone-modifying enzymes, including H3K9 methyltransferase activity, linking DNA methylation to repressive chromatin. MBD1 is studied in epigenetic gene silencing, neural development and cancer.

Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 1 in the nucleus, nucleus matrix, nucleus speckle and chromosome. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Widely expressed. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
