Rb1878-141012-WS

A synthetic peptide from aa region 2-40 of human Tau (Microtubule associated protein tau) conjugated to blue carrier protein was used as the antigen.

Microtubule-associated protein tau, Neurofibrillary tangle protein, Paired helical filament-tau, PHF-tau, MAPT, MAPTL, MTBT1

Function: Promotes microtubule assembly and stability, and might be involved in the establishment and maintenance of neuronal polarity. The C-terminus binds axonal microtubules while the N-terminus binds neural plasma membrane components, suggesting that tau functions as a linker protein between both. Axonal polarity is predetermined by tau localization (in the neuronal cell) in the domain of the cell body defined by the centrosome. The short isoforms allow plasticity of the cytoskeleton whereas the longer isoforms may preferentially play a role in its stabilization.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm cytosol. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cytoplasm cytoskeleton. Cell projection axon. Note: Mostly found in the axons of neurons, in the cytosol and in association with plasma membrane components.
Tissue specificity: Expressed in neurons. Isoform PNS-tau is expressed in the peripheral nervous system while the others are expressed in the central nervous system.

Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.
