Microtubule Organization and Microtubule-Associated Proteins (MAPs)

, 2016
Dendrites have a unique microtubule organization. In vertebrates, dendriticmicrotubules are organized in antiparallel bundles, oriented with their plusends either pointing away or toward the soma. The mixed microtubule arrayscontrol intracellular trafficking and local signaling pathways, and are essential fordendrite development and function.
