Clonality: Polyclonal

Host: Rabbit

Reactivity: Human

Application: Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western Blotting (WB)

Catalog no.: ABIN350438

Additional Information

Alternative name: MAP2 (Microtubule-associated protein 2, MAP-2, MAP 2, MAP2R)

Swiss-Prot: P11137

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide from human MAP2 (Microtubule-associated protein 2, MAP-2, MAP 2, MAP2R) conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the immunogen.

Format: Lyophilized

Description: Regulates and organizes microtubules; may serve as a scaffolding protein for neuromodulatory activities. FUNCTION: The exact function of MAP2 is unknown but MAPs may stabilize the microtubules against depolymerization. They also seem to have a stiffening effect on microtubules. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Isoform MAP2C is expressed during embryonic brain development and until postanatal day 10. Isoform MAP2B is expressed throughout brain development. Also known as: Microtubule-associated protein 2, MAP 2, MAP-2, MAP2R.

Specificity: Appears to be specific for MAP-2.

Application Details

Application Notes: IHC, WB. A dilution of 1 : 300 to 1 : 2000 is recommended. The optimal dilution should be determined by the end user. Not yet tested in other applications.

Purity: whole serum

Storage: Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.

Restrictions: For Research Use only
