Restrictions
For Research Use only
Format
Lyophilized
Buffer
PBS, pH 7.4, containing 0.02 % sodium azide
Preservative
Sodium azide
Precaution of Use
WARNING: Reagents contain sodium azide. Sodium azide is very toxic if ingested or inhaled. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Wear eye or face protection when handling. If skin or eye contact occurs, wash with copious amounts of water. If ingested or inhaled, contact a physician immediately. Sodium azide yields toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide-containing compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in lead or copper plumbing.
Storage
4 °C/-20 °C
Storage Comment
The antibody is stable in lyophilized form if stored at -20°C or below. The reconstituted antibody can be stored for 2-3 weeks at 2-8°C. For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C or below. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles.
MEP50 (methylosome protein 50), also known as WDR77, is a component of protein arginine methyltransferase complex containing at least PRMT5, CLNS1A and MEP50. It binds histone H2A selectively among core histones, and mediates transcriptional repression of protein arginine methyltransferase PRMT5. MEP50 is a WD repeat protein which interacts with an arginine protein JBP1. MEP50 plays a critical role in methylosome activity and may regulate the transfer of Sm proteins to the SMN (survival of motor neurons) complex, an early step in the assembly of U snRNPs. In addition, MEP50 may function to mediate the interaction of multiple substrates in the methylosome.Rabbit Anti-MEP50 Polyclonal Antibody is developed in rabbit using a KLH-coupled synthetic peptide from carboxyl terminal of human MEP50.
