ab5392 staining MAP2 in mouse neurons by immunocytochemistry/ immunofluorescence. Cells were PFA fixed and permeabilized in 0.4% Triton X-100 prior to blocking in 5% serum for 1 hour at 25°C. The primary antibody was diluted 1/10000 and incubated with the sample for 20 hours at 21°C. Alexa fluor® 488 goat polyclonal to chicken IgY diluted 1/400 was used as the secondary antibody.

Biological function summary
MAP2 plays a role in maintaining neuronal structure. It participates in the formation of the cytoskeleton by binding to tubulin subunits in microtubules. By doing so it supports the outgrowth of dendrites critical for synaptic connections and neuronal communication. MAP2 does not typically form part of a complex but associates dynamically with other microtubule proteins to regulate microtubule dynamics. Its role extends to influencing the morphology of neurons which impacts information processing and neurotransmission.
Pathways
MAP2 factors significantly into the regulation of the MAP kinase signaling pathway among others involving cytoskeletal remodeling. It interfaces with pathways controlled by proteins like MAP kinase affecting downstream targets involved in cellular growth and differentiation. MAP2 also interacts with tau proteins both being integral microtubule-associated proteins fostering structural support and transport within neurons.
