Anti-MAP1B (Microtubule Associated Protein 1B, DKFZp686E1099, DKFZp686F1345, FLJ38954, FUTSCH, MAP5)

Microtubule-associated protein 1B (MAP1B, also known as MAP5, MAP1.2, MAP1(x), or MAP1X), is different from MAP1A (also known as MAP1 or MAP1.1). Reportedly, MAP1B/MAP5 is an early MAP, it is present at high levels in embryonic and newborn rat brain and declines several-fold upon brain maturation. In several cellular situations, MAP1B/MAP5 is the first neuronal MAP to appear, and it is found in neurites from their very first emergence from the cell body. Expression of MAP1B/MAP5 is induced by nerve growth factor. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry, Immunofluorescence/Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: Western Blot: 1:500, Immunohistochemistry: 1:10-1:2000, Immunofluorescence (IC): 1:10-1:2000, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
