MAP-2 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

• Background :

  This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the microtubule-associated protein family. The proteins of this family are thought to be involved in microtubule assembly, which is an essential step in neurogenesis. The products of similar genes in rat and mouse are neuron-specific cytoskeletal proteins that are enriched in dentrites, implicating a role in determining and stabilizing dentritic shape during neuron development. A number of alternatively spliced variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010], alternative products:Additional isoforms seem to exist, function:The exact function of MAP2 is unknown but MAPs may stabilize the microtubules against depolymerization. They also seem to have a stiffening effect on microtubules., PTM:MAP2A/c is phosphorylated. Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR., similarity:Contains 3 Tau/MAP repeats., similarity:Contains 4 Tau/MAP repeats.
