Gene information for MAP2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4133
Official gene symbolMAP2
Full namemicrotubule-associated protein 2
Aliases,DKFZp686I2148,MAP2A,MAP2B,MAP2C,
Gene summaryThis 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 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. [provided by RefSeq]
