Protein Name: Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2

UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: P51608 (P51608)

Gene Name: MECP2

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human)

Function: Chromosomal protein that binds to methylated DNA. It can bind specifically to a single methyl-CpG pair. It is not influenced by sequences flanking the methyl-CpGs. Mediates transcriptional repression through interaction with histone deacetylase and the corepressor SIN3A. Binds both 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC)-containing DNA, with a preference for 5-methylcytosine (5mC)

Protein Subcellular Localization: Nucleus
