Product Overview
Clone AFEE-13 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody that recognizes methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 3 (gene MBD3) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, ICC/IF, immunoprecipitation and flow cytometry. The predicted molecular weight is 32.8 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 35 kDa.
MBD3 is a core subunit of the NuRD (nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase) complex. Unlike MBD1 and MBD2, it binds methylated DNA only weakly, but it is essential for NuRD assembly and function. MBD3 is studied in embryonic development, stem cell pluripotency and reprogramming, and chromatin-based gene regulation.

Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
