Comments:

Background: The product of this gene is a subunit of neuronal microtubule-associated MAP1A and MAP1B proteins, which are involved in microtubule assembly and important for neurogenesis. Studies on the rat homolog implicate a role for this gene in autophagy, a process that involves the bulk degradation of cytoplasmic component.

Application Details

Application Notes: The suggested dilution is: ELISA ~~ 1:1,000 Western blotting~~ 1:100~500 Immunohistochemistry ~~ 1:50~100
