mikrotubulleassociated
Mikrotubule-associated proteins (MAPs) are a diverse group of proteins that bind to microtubules, the dynamic cytoskeletal filaments that play crucial roles in various cellular processes. These proteins are essential for the stability, organization, and function of microtubules. MAPs can be classified into several categories based on their structure and function, including microtubule-associated proteins 1 and 2 (MAP1 and MAP2), tau proteins, and stathmin.
MAP1 and MAP2 are involved in the formation and stabilization of microtubules, particularly in neuronal cells.
MAPs play vital roles in numerous cellular functions, including cell division, intracellular transport, and cell motility.
