Expression levels of MeCP2 peak in cerebellum at 7 weeks. Expression of MeCP2 protein in full brain (FB), cerebellum (Crb), cortex (Ctx), hypothalamus (Hyp), and hippocampus (Hipp) of WT C57Bl/6 male mice, at the ages of 4 (A), 7 (B), and 12 weeks (C). Six mice per group were examined. At 7 weeks, the cerebellum is the only area where MeCP2 protein expression is significantly different than the full brain. The data was analyzed with a Kruskal–Wallis test, considering significant p-values < 0.05. No significant differences between areas were found at 4 or 12 weeks of age.
