Anti-Tau antibody, Mouse monoclonal

Description

• General description: Tau (τ), also known as MAPT (microtubule associated protein tau), is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 17q21.3. It is highly expressed in neurons, but is most prominent in axons.
• Specificity: Mouse monoclonal clone Tau46 anti-Tau antibody recognizes bovine, rat, human, and mouse Tau (approx. 45 to 60 kDa). The antibody recognizes a phosphorylation-independent epitope in amino acids 404-441 (human). The antibody recognizes all six isoforms of Tau and may cross react with MAP2 protein.
• Immunogen: bovine Tau.
• Application: Anti-Tau antibody, Mouse monoclonal has been used in western blotting.
• Biochem/physiol Actions: Tau (τ) plays an essential role in the assembly and maintenance of microtubule structure. Deletion of tau (τ) results in developmental delay and learning disability. The gene expression is associated with the development of Alzheimer′s disease (AD). Genetic variation in τ gene increases the risk of susceptibility to the sporadic tauopathies, progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal degeneration.
• Physical form: Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
