MAP2 Antibody (PA1-16751) in ICC/IF
Immunocytochemistry analysis of MAP2 in cortical neuron-glial cell culture from E20 rat. Samples were incubated in MAP2 polyclonal antibody (Product # PA1-16751) using a dilution of 1:10000. This antibody in red, and mouse mAb to MAP-tau dilution 1:2,000, in green. The blue is DAPI staining of nuclear DNA. This antibody stains dendrites and perikarya of neurons, while Tau antibody labels neuronal perikarya, dendrites and also axonal process. As a result perikarya and dendrites appears orange-yellow, since they contain both MAP2 and tau, wh... View More

Product Specific Information
In Western blot bands can be seen at approximately 280 kDa, representing MAP2a and MAP2b.
Bands may also be seen at approximately 70 kDa, representing MAP2c.
Target Information
MAP2 (Microtubule Associated Protein 2) exists in two high molecular weight forms (MAP2a & MAP2b) and a low molecular weight form. The expression of MAP2 is developmentally regulated and its multiple forms arise by alternative splicing of a single gene. MAP2 is involved in microtubule assembly, which is an essential step in neurogenesis. The products of similar genes in rat and mouse are neuron-specific cytoskeletal proteins that are enriched in dendrites, implicating a role in determining and stabilizing dendritic shape during neuron development. MAP2 is useful in studies of neuron structure in normal and malignant brain tissue as well as in degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease (AD).
