Anti-MAP1B Antibody Picoband® Fluoro594 Conjugated

This 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 product of this gene is a precursor polypeptide that presumably undergoes proteolytic processing to generate the final MAP1B heavy chain and LC1 light chain. Gene knockout studies of the mouse microtubule-associated protein 1B gene suggested an important role in development and function of the nervous system.

E.coli-derived human MAP1B recombinant protein (Position: H102-R1849) . Human MAP1B shares 89.9% and 89.2% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat MAP1B, respectively.
