ZooMAb antibodies represent an entirely new generation of recombinant monoclonal antibodies.

Each ZooMAb antibody is manufactured using our proprietary recombinant expression system, purified to homogeneity, and precisely dispensed to produce robust and highly reproducible lot-to-lot consistency. Only top-performing clones are released for use by researchers. Each antibody is validated for high specificity and affinity across multiple applications, including its most commonly used application. ZooMAb antibodies are reliably available and ready to ship when you need them.

Microtubule-associated protein (UniProt: F1MEW3; also known as MAP2) is encoded by the MAP2 gene (Gene ID: 281294) in bovine. MAP2 is a neuron-specific protein that stabilizes microtubules in the dendrites of postmitotic neurons. Its major function is to stabilize neuronal shape by promoting microtubule synthesis and cross-linking with other components of the cytoskeleton. Phosphorylation of MAP2 controls its association with the cytoskeleton and it is developmentally regulated. MAP2 can undergo phosphorylation by GSK-3 and p44/42 MAP kinase. Phosphorylation of MAP2 at threonine 1620 and 1623 by GSK-3 are reported to inhibits MAP2 association with microtubules and affect microtubule stability. MAP2 consists of at least three isoforms produced from a single gene: high molecular mass MAP2a and MAP2b, and low molecular mass MAP2c that is also known as the juvenile MAP2c, which is expressed only during early development and exists mainly in axons. MAP2a appears to replace MAP2c during growth and MAP2b is expressed throughout life. MAP2 can also serve as a marker of synaptic plasticity and its levels are observed to increase after traumatic brain injury. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8℃; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8℃, or -20℃ for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
