-20°CRabbit Anti-MPG (3-alkyladenine DNA glycosylase, 3-methyladenine DNA glycosidase, ADPG, N-methylpurine-DNA glycosylase)
MPG(N-methylpurine-DNA glycosylase) also known as MDG, 3-METHYLADENINE DNA GLYCOSYLASE, 3MeAde DNA GLYCOSYLASE, AAG or APNG. The MPG gene is mapped to human chromosome 16 by analysis of a panel of DNAs from mouse/human and hamster/human hybrid cell lines. The MPG gene was expressed in all cell lines and tissues examined, but was found at particularly high levels in a colon adenocarcinoma cell line (HT29). The completely characterized human MPG gene was found to span 7 to 8 kb of genomic DNA and to be localized 75 kb upstream of the embryonic zeta-globin gene. To assess the contribution of Apng to the repair of several mutagenic lesions in vivo, Hang et al. (1997) biochemically analyzed cell-free extracts of tissues from mice with a targeted deletion of the Apng gene. Following treatment with DNA-methylating agents, increased persistence of 7-methylguanine (meG) was found in liver sections of APNG knockout mice in comparison with wildtype mice, demonstrating an in vivo phenotype for the APNG-null animals.
Applications
Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability
Lyophilized and reconstituted products are stable for 12 months after receipt at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
Immunogen
A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminal of human MPG, different from the related mouse sequence by two amino acids and from related rat sequence by one amino acid.
Form
Supplied as a lyophilized powder from PBS, 5% BSA, 0.05% Thimerosal, 0.05% sodium azide. Reconstitutie with 200ul sterile ddH2O.
Purity
Purified by immunoaffinity chromatography.
Specificity
Recognizes human, mouse and rat MPG. No crossreactivity with other proteins.
Intended for research use only. Not for use in human, therapeutic, or diagnostic applications.
