    Summary
    DNA methylation is the major modification of eukaryotic genomes and plays an essential role in mammalian development. Human proteins MECP2, MBD1, MBD2, MBD3, and MBD4 comprise a family of nuclear proteins related by the presence in each of a methyl-CpG binding domain (MBD). Each of these proteins, with the exception of MBD3, is capable of binding specifically to methylated DNA. MECP2, MBD1 and MBD2 can also repress transcription from methylated gene promoters. In contrast to other MBD family members, MECP2 is X-linked and subject to X inactivation. MECP2 is dispensible in stem cells, but is essential for embryonic development. MECP2 gene mutations are the cause of most cases of Rett syndrome, a progressive neurologic developmental disorder and one of the most common causes of cognitive disability in females. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

      Transcript Variant: This variant (2), also known as MECP2B, lacks exon 2. Translation is reported to initiate in the first exon resulting in a protein isoform (2) with a distinct N-terminus. This transcript is reported to be abundant in the central nervous system (PMID: 15034579, 17171659).

      Status: REVIEWED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (3) includes exon 2 and an additional exon, resulting in the use of a downstream start codon, compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (3) has a shorter N-terminus compared to isoform 1. Variants 3-7 all encode the same isoform (3).
