Purified antibody in PBS with 0.05% sodium azide and 0.5% protein stabilizer.

Purified recombinant fragment of human MAP2 (AA: 24-123) expressed in E. coli.

This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the microtubule-associated protein family. The proteins of this family are thought to be 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 dentrites, implicating a role in determining and stabilizing dentritic shape during neuron development. A number of alternatively spliced variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described.
