β¦ Synopsis
MAP1B is a microtubule-associated phosphoprotein that is particularly highly expressed in developing neurons. There is experimental evidence that it plays an important role in neuronal differentiation, especially the extension of axons and dendrites, but exactly what role is unclear. Recent experiments have shed light on the gene structure of MAP1B and identified some of the kinases that phosphorylate the protein. Implicit in these findings is the idea that MAP1B regulates the organisation of microtubules in neurites and is itself regulated in a complex way and at a number of levels. Microsc.

MAP1B is a major cytoskeletal protein in growing axons and is strongly regulated during brain development. The present studies compare the expression of MAP1B mRNA, the protein, and its phosphorylated isoform in spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) with brain. In spinal cord and brain, MAP1B m
## Abstract Autophagy is a protein degradation process within the cell and its deregulation has been linked to various diseases and the formation of cancer. One of the important proteins involved in the autophagy process is microtubuleβassociated protein 1 light chain 3 (MAP1LC3). The aims of this
