(Image: Confocal image of adult rat cerebellar cortex stained with VSNL1 (green) and chicken polyclonal antibody to MAP2 (red) and DNA (blue). VSNL1 antibody reveals synapses in the molecular layer (ML) strongly. Synaptic regions are also seen in the granule cell layer (GC). The perikarya of Purkinje cells (PC) are revealed with the MAP2 antibody (4). Little staining is seen in the white matter (WM).)

Related Product Information for anti-MAP2 antibody
Microtubules are associated with a family of proteins called microtubule associated proteins (MAPs), which includes the protein tau and a group of proteins referred to as MAP1, MAP2, MAP3, MAP4 and MAP5. MAP2 is made up of two ~280kDa apparent molecular weight bands referred to as MAP2a and MAP2b. A third lower molecular weight form, usually called MAP2c, corresponds to a pair of protein bands running at ~70kDa on SDS-PAGE gels. All these MAP2 forms are derived from a single gene by alternate transcription, and all share a C-terminal sequence which includes either three or four microtubule binding peptide sequences, which are very similar to those found in the related microtubule binding protein tau.
Image of primary neuronal culture showing neuronal staining with MAP2 (green) and astrocytes with GFAP (red. Nuclei are counterstained blue.
MAP2 isoforms are expressed only in neuronal cells and specifically in the perikarya and dendrites of these cells. Antibodies to MAP2 are therefore excellent markers on neuronal cells, their perikarya and neuronal dendrites. In contrast tau is found predominantly in neuronal axons.

Product Notes
The MAP2 map2 (Catalog #AAA76523) is an Antibody and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Microtubule associated Protein 2 (MAP2) reacts with Human, Mouse, Primate, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Microtubule associated Protein 2 (MAP2) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, WB (Western Blot), IHC (Immunohistochemistry), ICC (Immunocytochemistry). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MAP2 map2 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Microtubule associated Protein 2 (MAP2), Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
