Cell localization:Cytoplasm.MAP1A and MAP1B are microtubµLe-associated proteins which mediate the physical interactions between microtubµLes and components of the cytoskeleton. MAP1A and MAP1B each consist of a heavy chain subunit and mµLtiple light chain subunits. The protein encoded by this gene is one of the light chain subunits and can associate with either MAP1A or MAP1B. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. The expression of variant 1 is suppressed in many tumor cell lines, suggesting that may be involved in carcinogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012],
