Anti-MAP6 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein microtubule associated protein 6. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 813 amino acid residues and a mass of 86.5 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasmic vesicles, golgi, and cytoplasm. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 3 different isoforms for this protein. It is reported to be expressed in the brain. A member of a the STOP protein family, MAP6 is known to be involved in microtubule stabilization in many cell types, including neuronal cells (By similarity). Post-translational modifications have been described, including palmitoylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include MTAP6, N-STOP, STOP, CTD-2530H12.7, stable tubule-only polypeptide, and MAP6-N.
