MBD2 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein methyl-CpG binding domain protein 2, which is encoded by the MBD2 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to bind CpG islands in promoters where the DNA is methylated at position 5 of cytosine within CpG dinucleotides. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid sequence of 411 residues and a mass of 43.3 kDa. It is known to be localized in the nucleus and is reported to be highly expressed in the brain, heart, kidney, stomach, testis and placenta. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. Other alias names for this target include NY-CO-41, demethylase, and DMTase.
The detection range for different MBD2 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 15.625 pg/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
