Microtubule-associated proteins 1A/1B light chain 3 beta 2, also as known as MAP1LC3B2, belongs to the MAP1LC3 family. MAP1LC3B2 is a subunit of neuronal microtubule-associated MAP1A and MAP1B proteins, which are involved in microtubule assembly and important for neurogenesis. This protein probably involved in formation of autophagosomal vacuoles (autophagosomes). It is expressed primarily in heart, testis, brain and skeletal muscle and testis. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-120 of human MAP1LC3B2 fused to His-tag at N-terminal, expressed in E. coli.
