Short Description

5-mC antibody detects methylated cytosine, which is a key epigenetic regulatory modification of genomic DNA and is considered a "fifth base". The 5-mC mark is added by DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) and serves predominately to turn off gene transcription. It is reversible via a DNA demethylation pathway triggered by the Ten-eleven translocation (TET) family of dioxygenases.

Storage Note

Store as concentrated solution. Centrifuge briefly prior to opening vial. For short-term storage (1-2 weeks), store at 4C. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20C or below. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
