About Map2

Summary

Enables actin binding activity; microtubule binding activity; and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cellular component organization; positive regulation of vesicle transport along microtubule; and response to progesterone. Located in several cellular components, including axon; dendrite; and endoplasmic reticulum. Part of protein-containing complex. Used to study Alzheimer's disease and cerebral infarction. Biomarker of arteriovenous malformation; asphyxia neonatorum; brain ischemia; sciatic neuropathy; and temporal lobe epilepsy. Orthologous to human MAP2 (microtubule associated protein 2).
