Target/Specificity | This MEPCE antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 239-267 amino acids from the Central region of human MEPCE. |
Dilution | WB~~1:1000 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | MEPCE Antibody (Center) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | MEPCE {ECO:0000303|PubMed:30559425, ECO:0000312|HGNC:HGNC:20247} |

Function | S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methyltransferase that adds a methylphosphate cap at the 5'-end of 7SK snRNA (7SK RNA), leading to stabilize it (PubMed:17643375, PubMed:19906723, PubMed:30559425). Also has a non-enzymatic function as part of the 7SK RNP complex: the 7SK RNP complex sequesters the positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) in a large inactive 7SK RNP complex preventing RNA polymerase II phosphorylation and subsequent transcriptional elongation (PubMed:17643375). The 7SK RNP complex also promotes snRNA gene transcription by RNA polymerase II via interaction with the little elongation complex (LEC) (PubMed:28254838). In the 7SK RNP complex, MEPCE is required to stabilize 7SK RNA and facilitate the assembly of 7SK RNP complex (PubMed:19906723, PubMed:38100593). MEPCE has a non- enzymatic function in the 7SK RNP complex; interaction with LARP7 within the 7SK RNP complex occluding its catalytic center (PubMed:19906723). Also required for stability of U6 snRNAs (PubMed:38100593). |
Cellular Location | Nucleus. |
Tissue Location | Expressed in chronic myeloid leukemia cells, adrenal gland, brain, cerebellum, kidney, lung, mammary gland and testis (PubMed:12358911). Weakly or not expressed in other tissues (PubMed:12358911). |
