| Application: | All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information. |

| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) is majorly involved in maintaining cellular structural integrity, microtubule assembly and stability by interacting with the carboxy-terminal of tubulin and linking other cytoskeletal polymers to it. It acts like a molecular scaffold upon which cytoskeleton-modifying proteins assemble, interact and dissociate in response to neuronal activity. Many proteins like type II regulatory subunit of protein kinase A ( PKA), F-actin, calmodulin and the mitochondrial outer membrane protein porin have been shown to interact with MAP2. Tyrosine kinase FYN binds with and phosphorylates MAP2. This phosphorylation further helps in binding of the Src homology 2 (SH2) domain of growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (GRB2) to MAP2. In this way, a number of signaling proteins are recruited by it for the pathways involved in central nervous system development. |

| Features and Benefits: | Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section. Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways: • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues. • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments. |
| General description: | MAP2 gene is located at 2q34 on the human chromosome. |
| General description: | Microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) is a major cytoskeletal protein in neurons belonging to a family of heat stable microtubule-associated proteins. It has 11 conserved PXXP motifs that are ligands for Src homology 3 (SH3) domains. MAP2 contains a microtubule-binding domain (MTBD) near the carboxyl terminus of the molecule. |
