Primary Accession | O95983 |
---|---|
Clone Names | 100427244 |
Gene ID | 53615 |
---|---|
Other Names | Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 3, Methyl-CpG-binding protein MBD3, MBD3 |
Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP13755a was selected from the N-term region of MBD3. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | MBD3 |
---|---|
Function | Acts as a component of the histone deacetylase NuRD complex which participates in the remodeling of chromatin (PubMed:16428440, PubMed:12124384, PubMed:16428440, PubMed:28977666). Acts as transcriptional repressor and plays a role in gene silencing (PubMed:10947852, PubMed:18644863). Does not bind to methylated DNA by itself (PubMed:12124384, PubMed:16428440). Binds to a lesser degree DNA containing unmethylated CpG dinucleotides (PubMed:24307175). Recruits histone deacetylases and DNA methyltransferases. |
Cellular Location | Nucleus. Chromosome. Note=Nuclear, in discrete foci. Detected on chromatin, at promoter regions of active genes |

Background
DNA methylation is the major modification of eukaryoticgenomes and plays an essential role in mammalian development. Humanproteins MECP2, MBD1, MBD2, MBD3, and MBD4 comprise a family ofnuclear proteins related by the presence in each of a methyl-CpGbinding domain (MBD). However, unlike the other family members,MBD3 is not capable of binding to methylated DNA. The predictedMBD3 protein shares 71% and 94% identity with MBD2 (isoform 1) andmouse Mbd3. MBD3 is a subunit of the NuRD, a multisubunit complexcontaining nucleosome remodeling and histone deacetylaseactivities. MBD3 mediates the association of metastasis-associatedprotein 2 (MTA2) with the core histone deacetylase complex.
