Background

Microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) is a protein primarily found in neurons, where it plays a crucial role in stabilizing microtubules, maintaining cell shape, and supporting dendritic development MAP2 is part of a family of microtubule-associated proteins that bind to microtubules and regulate their stability, thereby contributing to the structural integrity of the cytoskeleton In neurons, MAP2 is essential for dendritic growth and synaptic plasticity, as it helps organize microtubules that extend into dendritic spines, the sites of synaptic connections and communication Dysregulation or loss of MAP2 function is associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and tauopathies, where disrupted microtubule stability leads to impaired neuronal function and neurofibrillary tangles MAP2 also serves as a marker for dendritic structures in neurons and is important for maintaining the organization of the central nervous system during development and in response to injury
