关于 MAP1A

功能概要

该基因编码属于微管相关蛋白家族的蛋白质。该家族的蛋白质被认为参与微管组装，这是神经发生的重要步骤。该基因的产物是一种前体多肽，可能经过蛋白水解加工产生最终的 MAP1A 重链和 LC2 轻链。该基因的表达几乎完全在大脑中。对大鼠微管相关蛋白 1A 基因的研究表明它在脊髓发育的早期事件中起作用。[RefSeq 提供，2008 年 7 月]

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 MAP1A heavy chain and LC2 light chain. Expression of this gene is almost exclusively in the brain. Studies of the rat microtubule-associated protein 1A gene suggested a role in early events of spinal cord development.
