MAP2 Antibody (13-1500) in ICC/IF
Immunofluorescent analysis of PSD-95 (green) and MAP2 (red) on rat primary cortical neurons cultured for 28 days in the B-27 Plus Neuronal Culture System (Product # A3653401). At day 28 the cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 min, permeabilized with 0.1% triton x-100 for 30min, and blocked with 1% BSA for 30 min at room temperature. Cells were stained with anti-PSD95 antibody (Product # 51-6900) at a dilution of 1:200, and anti-MAP2 (Product # 13-1500) at a dilution of 1:400, in 1% BSA staining buffer, overnight at 4C, and the...

Product Specific Information
This antibody reacts with a 300 kD cytoskeletal protein (MAP2A and MAP2B) primarily expressed in the somatodendritic domain of the neuron but is also found in the glia. Reactivity is not affected by phospohorylation state of MAP2. Abnormal expression of MAP2 may cause cytoskeletal abnormalities and impair signal transduction in dendrites.
This antibody is suitable for immunohistochemical staining of alcohol-fixed paraffin embedded or frozen tissue sections.
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).
