MAP2 Antibody (PA5-85755) in ICC/IF
Immunofluorescence analysis of Microtubule-associated protein 2 was performed using 70% confluent log phase SH-SY5Y cells differentiated to neurons (Retinoic acid 10 uM for 5 days). The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 minutes, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton™ X-100 for 15 minutes, and blocked with 2% BSA for 45 minutes at room temperature. The cells were labeled with MAP2 Polyclonal Antibody (Product # PA5-85755) at 1:500 dilution in 0.1% BSA, incubated at 4 degree celsius overnight and then labeled with Goat anti-Rabbit Ig...

Target Information
MAP2 (Microtubule Associated Protein 2) exists in two high molecular weight forms (MAP2a & MAP2b) and a low molecular weight form. The expression of MAP2 is developmentally regulated and its multiple forms arise by alternative splicing of a single gene. MAP2 is 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 dendrites, implicating a role in determining and stabilizing dendritic shape during neuron development. MAP2 is useful in studies of neuron structure in normal and malignant brain tissue as well as in degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease (AD).
