质量标准:【产品介绍】5-Methylcytosine is the methylated form of
the DNA base cytosine. In mammalian cells, DNA
methylation is an enzymatic modification at the
5-position of cytosine present abundantly within the
CpG dinucleotide sequence context. This DNA modification
is inheritable and reversible without primary DNA
base sequence changes resulting in possible
epigenetic modulation of phenotype and gene
expression (1). CpG methylation may directly interfere
with the binding of certain transcriptional regulators
to their cognate DNA sequences or may enable recruitment
of methyl-CpG binding proteins that create a
repressed chromatin environment (2). The de novo
formation and maintenance of 5-methylcytosine is
catalyzed by DNA methyltransferase proteins (DNMTs) (1).
