Rabbit Anti-MAP1A/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
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 product of this gene is a precursor polypeptide that presumably undergoes proteolytic processing to generate the final MAP1A heavy chain and LC2 light chain. Expression of this gene is almost exclusively in the brain. Studies of the rat microtubule-associated protein 1A gene suggested a role in early events of spinal cord development.

Function:
Structural protein involved in the filamentous cross-bridging between microtubules and other skeletal elements.
Subunit:
3 different light chains, LC1, LC2 and LC3, can associate with MAP1A and MAP1B proteins. Interacts with TIAM2. Interacts with guanylate kinase-like domain of DLG1, DLG2, DLG4. Binds to CSNK1D.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton (Probable).
Tissue Specificity:
Brain
Post-translational modifications:
Phosphorylated by CSNK1D.
LC2 is generated from MAP1A by proteolytic processing.
Similarity:
Belongs to the MAP1 family.
