Applications
Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab5392 in the following tested applications.
The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
| Application | Abreviews | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ELISA | 1/5000. | |
| IHC-Fr | Use at an assay dependent dilution. | |
| IHC-FoFr | 1/500. PubMed: 18684835 | |
| IHC-P | Use at an assay dependent concentration. | |
| WB | 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. | |
| ICC/IF | 1/10000. | |
| IHC (PFA fixed) | Use at an assay dependent concentration. |
Target
-
FunctionThe 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 similaritiesContains 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. -
Cellular localizationCytoplasm, cytoskeleton.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-MAP2 antibody (ab5392)Image courtesy of an AbReview submitted by Mr. Carl HobbsPFA-fixed, paraffin embedded sections of sheep cerebellum were stained for MAP2 with ab5392 at 1/2000 dilution in immunohistochemical analysis. Goat Anti-Chicken IgY H&L (Biotin) (ab6876) was used as secondary antibody at 1/200 dilution.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-MAP2 antibody (ab5392)Rat E20 cultured cortical neuron-glial cells stained for MAP2 (red) using ab5392 at 1/2000 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.

Tissue samples were fixed by perfusion with paraformaldehyde and permeablized with 50% Ethanol for 30 minutes. The sample was incubated with primary antibody (1/250 in PBS + 0.3% Triton X-100) at 4°C for 48 hours. An Alexa Fluor® 488-conjugated goat anti-chicken IgY polyclonal (1/1000) was used as the secondary antibody.
