1/20000 - 1/100000.
This 280kDa band corresponds to the high molecular weight MAP2a and MAP2b isoforms. Also detects 2 bands at approximately 70 kDa, corresponding to MAPc, since the 70kDa bands are transcripts from the same gene and correspond to the C-terminus of the 280kDa bands. |

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. -
Sequence similarities
Contains 3 Tau/MAP repeats. -
Post-translational
modificationsPhosphorylated 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. -

Immunocytochemistry - Anti-MAP2 antibody (ab5392)
Rat E20 cultured cortical neuron-glial cells stained for MAP2 (red) using ab5392 at 1/10000 dilution for ICC/IF. Tau is detected with a mouse monoclonal anti-Tau antibody (green). The nuclear counter stain is DAPI (blue). Overlap of MAP2 and Tau staining results in an orange-yellow color.

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. -
