MAP2 Antibody / Microtubule-associated protein 2

SKU: orb1823790

Description

Microtubules, the primary component of the cytoskeletal network, interact with proteins called microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs). The microtubule-associated proteins can be divided into two groups, structural and dynamic. The structural microtubule-associated proteins, MAP-1A, MAP-1B, MAP-2A, MAP-2B and MAP-2C, stimulate tubulin assembly, enhance microtubule stability and influence the spatial distribution of microtubules within cells. Both MAP-1 and, to a greater extent, MAP-2 have been implicated as agents of microtubule depolymerization by suppressing the dynamic instability of the microtubules. The suppression of microtubule dynamic instability by the MAP proteins is thought to be associated with phosphorylation of the MAPs.

Images & Validation

• Tested Applications: IHC-P
• Dilution Range: Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 1-2ug/ml for 30 min at RT
• Reactivity: Human
• Application Notes:
  Optimal dilution of the MAP2 antibody should be determined by the researcher.

Key Properties
