MAP2 antibody - 188 005

MAP2 is a major microtubule associated protein in neurons
Guinea pig polyclonal purified antibody
Cat. No.: 188 005
Amount: 50 µg
Price: $465.00
Cat. No. 188 005 50 µg specific antibody, lyophilized. Affinity purified with the immunogen. Albumin and azide were added for stabilization. For reconstitution add 50 µl H2O to get a 1mg/ml solution in PBS. Then aliquot and store at -20°C to -80°C until use.
Antibodies should be stored at +4°C when still lyophilized. Do not freeze!

ICC: 1 : 500 up to 1 : 1000 gallery  
IHC: 1 : 500 gallery  
IHC-P: 1 : 500 gallery  

Western blot (WB); separation of proteins by PAGE and subsequent transfer to a membrane. Detection of target molecules is carried out with antibodies. Some antibodies require special sample preparation steps. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section.

Immunoprecipitation (IP); Immunoisolation or pulldown of a target molecule using an antibody. For details and product specific hints, please refer to the ”Remarks” section.

Immunocytochemistry (ICC) on 4% PFA fixed cells. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence. Some antibodies require special fixation methods. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) on 4% PFA perfusion fixed tissue with 24h PFA post fixation. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate. Some antibodies require special fixation methods or antigen retrieval steps. For details, please refer to the ”Remarks” section.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P) of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue (some antibodies require special antigen retrieval steps, please refer to the ”Remarks” section). Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate.

Immunogen Recombinant protein corresponding to residues near the amino terminus of human Map2 (UniProt Id: P11137-4)
Reactivity Reacts with: mouse (P20357), rat (P15146).
Other species not tested yet.
Predicted to cross-react with human (P11137) due to high sequence homology.
Remarks

WB: Due to the large size of this protein, we recommend NuPAGE 3-8% Tris-Acetate gels for SDS-PAGE.

Background

There are two major classes of heat stable microtubule associated proteins (MAPs): MAP2, and tau. Both protein classes are involved in the regulation of microtubule polymerization in cells.
Four differentially regulated isoforms of MAP2 have been described so far.
