The UniProt recommended name is Microtubule-associated protein 1B (MAP1B). This large microtubule-binding protein plays an essential role during nervous system development by stabilizing and organizing microtubule networks within axons and dendrites.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFunctionally, MAP1B antibody identifies a precursor protein of approximately 2,460 amino acids that is proteolytically cleaved into heavy and light chains. These subunits assemble with microtubules and actin filaments, promoting cytoskeletal crosslinking. MAP1B is enriched in developing neurons, where it modulates growth cone dynamics and neurite outgrowth, influencing axonal pathfinding and regeneration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe MAP1B gene is located on chromosome 5q13.2 and is highly expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems. MAP1B associates with other neuronal cytoskeletal proteins, such as tau and MAP2, to regulate polymerization and microtubule stability. Phosphorylation of MAP1B by kinases including GSK3 and CDK5 modulates its binding affinity and spatial localization, fine-tuning neuronal polarity and maturation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePathologically, aberrant MAP1B expression or phosphorylation is associated with neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer�s and Parkinson�s disease. In tumor cells, MAP1B re-expression correlates with altered cytoskeletal organization and invasiveness. Research using MAP1B antibody supports studies in axonal transport, cytoskeletal remodeling, and neuronal repair mechanisms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMAP1B antibody is validated for western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence to detect neuronal microtubule-associated proteins. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStructurally, Microtubule-associated protein 1B contains multiple microtubule-binding domains and an actin-binding region, facilitating cytoskeletal integration. Its dynamic phosphorylation pattern determines its localization and activity during neuron growth and regeneration. This antibody provides a reliable tool to examine MAP1B's regulatory functions in cytoskeletal organization and axonal development.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnecting protein-level changes to phenotype using orthogonal readouts (genetic perturbation, transcriptomics, imaging).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsidering isoforms and post-translational regulation when interpreting protein-level changes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComparing results across species and model systems with matched controls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWestern blotting:\u003c\/strong\u003e compare relative abundance and activation-state changes across conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmunofluorescence:\u003c\/strong\u003e visualize subcellular distribution and cell-to-cell heterogeneity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmunohistochemistry:\u003c\/strong\u003e map target signal in tissue context and compare regions\/phenotypes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlow cytometry:\u003c\/strong\u003e quantify target-positive populations and signal shifts at single-cell resolution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eELISA:\u003c\/strong\u003e support antibody-based quantification in assay formats where applicable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterpret changes in signal alongside appropriate controls and, when relevant, in parallel with total-protein or pathway readouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal can reflect expression level, isoform composition, and post-translational state; interpret results in the context of your model system and stimuli.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecies differences and sample matrices can influence epitope recognition; prioritize matched controls and orthogonal confirmation when feasible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntibody notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyclonal antibodies recognize multiple epitopes, which can broaden the epitope footprint and may increase sensitivity in some contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProt search — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb?query=MAP1B - NCBI Gene search — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=MAP1B - Ensembl search — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=MAP1B - Human Protein Atlas search — HPA — https:\/\/www.proteinatlas.org\/search\/MAP1B - PubMed (review) — NLM — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=MAP1B+review --\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 ug\/ml \/ 100 ug","offer_id":53047312154989,"sku":"FY13099","price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_7a6e011d-4970-4add-b631-600400a20f98.jpg?v=1782237096","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/map1b-antibody-microtubule-associated-protein-1b-bha17136001","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
