Overview
| Product Description | Mouse Monoclonal antibody [4H5] recognizes MAP2ab |
|---|---|
| Tested Reactivity | Hu, Ms, Rat, Bov |
| Tested Application | ICC/IF, IHC-Fr, WB |
| Specificity | This antibody was raised against purified full length bovine brain MAP2 and the epitope was mapped to aa. 631-1056 of the human MAP2 sequence, so it reacts to MAP2a and MAP2b proteins. |

| Gene Symbol | MAP2 |
| Gene Full Name | microtubule-associated protein 2 |
| 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] |
| 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. [UniProt] |

| Research Area | Controls and Markers antibody; Neuroscience antibody; Signaling Transduction antibody; Neuron Marker antibody; Mature Neuron Marker antibody; Neurite Marker antibody |
| Calculated MW | 200 kDa |
| PTM | Phosphorylated at serine residues in K-X-G-S motifs by MAP/microtubule affinity-regulating kinase (MARK1 or MARK2), causing detachment from microtubules, and their disassembly (By similarity). Isoform 2 is probably phosphorylated by PKA at Ser-323, Ser-354 and Ser-386 and by FYN at Tyr-67. The interaction with KNDC1 enhances MAP2 threonine phosphorylation (By similarity). |

Immunohistochemistry: Free-floating section of mouse cortex stained with ARG10719 anti-MAP2ab antibody [4H5] (green), and co-stained with ARG10712 anti-FOX3 / NeuN antibody at 1:2000 dilution. DAPI (blue) used for nuclear staining.
This antibody labels MAP2 protein in the perikarya and dendrites of most neurons while the FOX3/NeuN antibody selectively stains nuclei and proximal soma of neuronal cells.
