Microtubule-associated protein 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MAP4 gene.The protein encoded by this gene is a major non-neuronal microtubule-associated protein. This protein contains a domain similar to the microtubule-binding domains of neuronal microtubule-associated protein (MAP2) and microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT/TAU). This protein promotes microtubule assembly and has been shown to counteract destabilization of interphase microtubule catastrophe promotion.
