This is the first study to describe MAP6 as a glycoprotein containing Gal-(beta-1,3)-GalNAc oligosaccharides and to show that hyperglycosylation of MAP6 is strongly associated with the pathogenesis of Parkinson's Disease.

MAP6 deletion results in alterations of microtubule network, sarcoplasmic reticulum organization and calcium release.

MAP6 is involved in the formation and the maintenance of mature post-synaptic dendritic spines.MAP6 is involved in the stabilisation of actin filaments in dendritic spines.

show that MAP6 proteins interact directly with both Tctex1 and the C-terminus of Cav2.2/N-type calcium channels.
Title: MAP6 interacts with Tctex1 and Ca(v) 2.2/N-type calcium channels to regulate calcium signalling in neurons.
MAP6 is present at the Golgi complex and in secretory vesicles in unpolarized cells and re-distributed to newly forming axons, where it binds and stabilizes axonal microtubules. A palmitoylation cycle controls MAP6 membrane-microtubule shuttling and is required for its polarized distribution in axons.
Title: Dynamic Palmitoylation Targets MAP6 to the Axon to Promote Microtubule Stabilization during Neuronal Polarization.
Mice deficient in stable tubule only polypeptide (STOP) show sleep/wake patterns that resemble those seen in patients with schizophrenia.

MAP6 deletion disrupts brain connectivity and is associated with a lack of post-commissural fornix fibres. MAP6 contributes to fornix development by regulating axonal elongation induced by Semaphorin 3E.
Title: Microtubule-associated protein 6 mediates neuronal connectivity through Semaphorin 3E-dependent signalling for axonal growth.
STOP/Map6 knockout mice are a valid model for cognitive deficits in schizophrenia.
Title: Reduced expression of STOP/MAP6 in mice leads to cognitive deficits.
MAP6 might serve as a temperature sensor adapting its conformation according to the temperature to maintain the cellular microtubule network in organisms exposed to temperature decrease.
Title: MAP6-F is a temperature sensor that directly binds to and protects microtubules from cold-induced depolymerization.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

mRNA and Protein(s)

NM_001043355.2 → NP_001036820.2 microtubule-associated protein 6 isoform 3

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (3) differs in the 5' coding region, uses a downstream, in-frame start codon as described in PubMed: 14567673, and lacks an alternate exon in the 3' coding region that results in a frameshift, compared to variant 1. These differences result in a shorter protein (isoform 3, also known as F-STOP) with shorter and distinct N- and C-termini, compared to isoform 1.
