Effects of three microtubule-associated proteins (MAP2, MAP4, and Tau) on microtubules’ physical properties and neurite morphology

Abstract The physical properties of cytoskeletal microtubules have a multifaceted effect on the expression of their cellular functions. A superfamily of microtubule-associated proteins, MAP2, MAP4, and tau, promote the polymerization of microtubules, stabilize the formed microtubules, and affect the...
