MAP1A - microtubule associated protein 1A Gene
Also Known as MAP1L; MTAP1A
Species: Homo sapiens
About MAP1A
This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 266 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 73.0), heart (RPKM 5.9) and 1 other tissue.
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 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.
