SMI 52 reacts with microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2). This antibody reacts with most mammalian species and with frog tissue. SMI 52 recognizes neuronal cell bodies and dendrites in tissue sections and cell cultures. In immunoblots of brain cytoskeletal preparations, SMI 52 reacts with MAP2a and b, and also with a doublet at 68 kD that may represent MAP2c.

Antigen Details

Structure

MAP2 is made up of two bands of an apparent molecular weight of approximately 280 kD, referred to as MAP2a and MAP2b. A third lower molecular weight form, usually called MAP2c, corresponds to a pair of protein bands running at ~70 kD on SDS-PAGE gels. All these MAP2 forms are derived from a single gene by alternative 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 τ (tau).

Distribution

Cellular distribution: Plasma membrane, cytoskeleton, nucleus, and cytosol.
Tissue distribution: Predominantly in the nervous system

Function

MAP2 encodes a protein that belongs to the microtubule-associated protein family. The proteins of this family are involved in microtubule assembly. The products of these genes are neuron-specific cytoskeletal proteins that are enriched in dendrites, which implicate a role in determining and stabilizing dentritic shape during neuron development.

Interaction

MAP2 interacts with microtubules. It has also been reported to interact with KNDC1 via KIND2.

Ligand/Receptor

MAP2 isoforms are expressed 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 τ (tau) is found predominantly in neuronal axons.
