Neurofilament & Neuron Metabolism

This Anti-MAP2 Antibody, Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated is validated for use in IH for the detection of MAP2.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Recognizes MAP-2 (microtubule associated protein-2). MAP-2 is one of several high molecular weight proteins that play an important role in brain microtubule assembly. In addition to its association with microtubules, MAP-2 associates with neurofilaments and actin filaments suggesting that it may guide interaction among microtubules, other cytoskeletal elements, and cytoplasmic organelles (1).

MAP-2 is a stringent marker for neurons. In addition, MAP-2 displays intracellular specificity. In the central nervous system, MAP-2 is confined to neuronal cell bodies and dendrites. There are exceptions, however, where some axons stain positive for small amounts of MAP-2 (2,3). MAP-2 is uniformly distributed throughout the cell when first expressed in cultured neurons but becomes selectively localized as dendritic development proceeds (4,5).

SDS-PAGE Profiles: In SDS-PAGE MAP-2 from adult rat migrates as a closely associated doublet having a molecular weight of approximately 300 kD. However, early in brain development (postnatal day 10 in rats), MAP-2 migrates as a single band that is identical to the lower molecular weight band of the adult MAP-2 doublet (MAP-2b). Later in development (postnatal days 17-18), the mobility of MAP-2 changes to the adult doublet form. (In the spinal cord, conversion to the adult form occurs earlier).
