Description (eCommerce)
Microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) belongs to the MAP family of microtubule assembly proteins. MAP2 is expressed mainly in neurons and is important to neurogenesis. In addition to binding microtubules, MAP2 can also bind F-actin and bundle actin filaments. This function, as well as its role as an adaptor protein in PKA signaling, appears to be important to the initiation of neurite extension. As a structural MAP, MAP2 interacts with a multitude of proteins and associates with a number of protein kinases indicating its importance in linking cell signaling and cytoskeletal organization.
Description (Vector)
MAP2 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 products of similar genes in rat and mouse are neuron-specific cytoskeletal proteins that are enriched in dentrites, implicating a role in determining and stabilizing dentritic shape during neuron development. A number of alternatively spliced variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described.

About Storage Conditions
All our viral products should be kept at -80°C. At this temperature, the virus will remain stable for 6-12 months (and in some cases, up to 2 years). Once thawed, the product can be stored at 4°C for 2-3 weeks without significant loss of biological activity.
We recommend aliquoting your vectors into low protein binding tubes upon receipt. This helps avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as well as prevent loss of virus. To maintain accurate titer, aliquot in at least 20ul per tube.
