DescriptionAnti-MAP4 Antibody
Alternate Names
  • microtubule-associated protein 4
  • cdc kinase
  • MAP-4
Background InformationMicrotubule-associated protein 4 (MAP4) is a ubiquitous non-neuronal microtubule-associated protein. This protein binds, polymerizes, and stabilizes microtubules and is thought to regulate microtubule dynamics during the cell cycle. p34cdc2 kinase phosphorylation of MAP4 appears to regulate the control of microtubule reorganization at mitosis (Ookata, 1997).

Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a major non-neuronal microtubule-associated protein. This protein contains a domain similar to the microtubule-binding domains of neuronal microtubule-associated protein (MAP2) and microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT/TAU). This protein promotes microtubule assembly, and has been shown to counteract destabilization of interphase microtubule catastrophe promotion. Cyclin B was found to interact with this protein, which targets cell division cycle 2 (CDC2) kinase to microtubules. The phosphorylation of this protein affects microtubule properties and cell cycle progression. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Purification MethodProtein A Purfied
UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: Non-neuronal microtubule-associated protein. Promotes microtubule assembly.

SUBUNIT STRUCTURE: Interacts with SEPT2; this interaction impedes tubulin-binding.

PTM: Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR By similarity. Phosphorylation on Ser-787 negatively regulates MAP4 activity to promote microtubule assembly. Isoform 3 is phosphorylated on Ser-337 and Ser-338.

SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES: Contains 4 Tau/MAP repeats.
