MAP2 serves to stabilize MT growth by crosslinking MT with intermediate filaments and other MTs. MAP2 isoforms are neuron-specific cytoskeletal proteins enriched in dendrites and perikarya, implicating a role in determining and stabilizing …

2024年12月25日 · MAP2 (Microtubule Associated Protein 2) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with MAP2 include Central Neurocytoma and Olivopontocerebellar Atrophy. Among its related pathways are TGF-Beta Pathway and CNTF Signaling. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include structural molecule activity and calmodulin binding.

Microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) is the predominant cytoskeletal regulator within neuronal dendrites, abundant and specific enough to serve as a robust somatodendritic marker. It influences microtubule dynamics and microtubule/actin ...

2025年3月8日 · HIV-1 gp120/MBL complex co-localizes with MAP2 and is transported along the microtubules in human primary neurons: PubMed: env: Ascorbate supplementation prevents the deleterious upregulation of iNOS and associated neuronal (MAP2) and astrocytic (GFAP) protein expression and structural changes caused by gp120 in human brain cell cultures ...

HIstopathology specimen of a glioblastoma, MAP2 immunostain. In cell biology, microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) are proteins that interact with the microtubules of the cellular cytoskeleton. MAPs are integral to the stability of the cell and its internal structures and the transport of components within the cell.

Microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) are a family of proteins that influence this property. We showed previously that MAP2, a neuron-specific protein that stabilizes microtubules in the dendrites of postmitotic neurons, is induced in primary cutaneous melanoma but is absent in metastatic melanomas.

Microtubule Associated Protein 2 (MAP2) is a protein that is specific to neurons and plays a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity of the cytoskeleton and regulating various neuronal functions.

Here we will review the current knowledge about the regulation of MAP2 function through phosphorylation/dephosphorylation and its relevance in the broader context of neuronal functions.

2004年12月23日 · Microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) of the MAP2/Tau family include the vertebrate proteins MAP2, MAP4, and Tau and homologs in other animals. All three vertebrate members of the family have alternative splice forms; all isoforms share a conserved carboxy-terminal domain containing microtubule-binding repeats, and an amino-terminal projection ...

2020年4月1日 · Microtubule-associated protein (MAP) 2 is a neuron-specific cytoskeletal protein that stabilizes microtubules (MTs) and is implicated in establishing dendritic arborization during development. 14 Long considered as a mono-functional protein that regulates microtubule properties, MAP2 has been extensively used as a reliable dendritic marker ...
