MAP1B microtubule associated protein 1B

Gene ID: 4131, updated on 4-Aug-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MAP5; PVNH9; DFNA83; FUTSCH; PPP1R102

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the microtubule-associated protein family. The proteins of this family are thought to be involved in microtubule assembly, which is an essential step in neurogenesis. The product of this gene is a precursor polypeptide that presumably undergoes proteolytic processing to generate the final MAP1B heavy chain and LC1 light chain. Gene knockout studies of the mouse microtubule-associated protein 1B gene suggested an important role in development and function of the nervous system. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
