Target Details for MAP2

Target: MAP2 (Microtubule-Associated Protein 2 (MAP2))

Alternative Name: MAP2B

Background: Microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) play a crucial role in the development and structure of nerve cells. These proteins are important for the assembly and stability of microtubules during neurite outgrowth and for the morphology of neuronal processes, such as dendrites, MAP2, specifically localized in dendrites, has four known isoforms produced by alternative splicing of the transcript. These isoforms, MAPs A, B, C, and D, are expressed at various stages of neuronal development. MAP2B is a 280-kDa protein expressed throughout brain development. It is composed of several highly conserved domains that are flanked by domains with extensive sequence divergence. An N-terminal conserved domain overlaps with a binding domain for the regulatory subunit of the cAMP-dependent kinase II, while a C-terminal conserved domain overlaps with a microtubule-binding domain. Secondary structure prediction suggests that the portion of MAP2B extending from the microtubule surface is composed of a number of alpha-helices separated by small turns which may account for the extended, yet flexible, structure of MAP2B.
