.Microtubule-associated protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MAP2 gene.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. MAP2 serves to stabilize microtubules (MT) growth by crosslinking MT with intermediate filaments and other MT.
