MAP7 (also known as E-MAP-115 or Ensconsin) is a microtubule-stabilising protein that may play an important role in microtubule reorganisation during polarisation and differentiation of epithelial cells []. It may play a role in the formation of intercellular contacts [, ].
MAP7 (also known as E-MAP-115 or Ensconsin) is a microtubule-stabilising protein that may play an important role in microtubule reorganisation during polarisation and differentiation of epithelial cells []. It may play a role in the formation of intercellular contacts [, ].The MAP7 family has three other members: MAP7 domain containing proteins 1 (MAP7D1), 2 (MAP7D2) and 3 (MAP7D3) []. MAP7D3 has been identified as a critical regulator of microtubule stability, probably through its binding to tubulin and microtubules, as well as its regulation of histone deacetylase 6 activity [, ].
