PROTEIN

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	five tandem repeats of 46 amino acids
	a putative SH3-binding motif near its N terminus
	calmodulin binding motif

HOMOLOGY

Homologene

FAMILY

STOP family

CATEGORY

structural protein

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton,microtubule
text	the distribution is uniform between the cytoplasm and neurites of neurons
	colocalizes with neurofilament-rich inclusions in spinal chrod and brain neurons of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Letournel 2003)

basic FUNCTION	acting on the stability and dynamics of microtubules
	playing an important role for synaptic plasticity
	microtubule-associated protein stabilizing microtubules in a calmodulin (CaM)-dependent manner
	is significantly enriched for known tumor suppressors and likely contains many novel tumor suppressors
	MAP6, MAP6D1 having multimerization activity, which may be relevant to neuronal differentiation and synaptic functions

small molecule

protein

bound to microtubules and calmodulin for calmodulin regulation of microtubule dynamics or stability, specifically during mitosis where CaM and MAP6 colocalize

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

Map6 deletion in mice severely alters integrated brain functions and is associated with synaptic defects, suggesting that MAP6s may also have alternative cellular roles
