{"product_id":"biolegend-851104","title":"Biolegend, 851104, HRP anti-Tau, 425-441 Antibody, 100μg","description":"\u003cp\u003eTau protein promotes microtubule assembly and stability. Tau is abundant in neurons of the central nervous system, and is expressed at low levels in astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. Abnormal hyperphosphorylation, aggregation, and toxic gain of function of tau is associated with several neurological disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The major building block of neurofibrillary lesions in AD brains consists of paired helical filaments (PHFs) of abnormally hyperphosphorylated tau. Six isoforms of tau are generated by alternative splicing of the MAPT gene. These isoforms are distinguished by the number of tubulin binding domains, 3 (3R) or 4 (4R), in the C-terminal of the protein and by one (1N), two (2N), or no (0N) inserts in the N-terminal domain.  Tau isoforms are differentially expressed during development.\u003cbr\u003e\n100μg\u003cbr\u003e\nVerified Reactivity: Human, Mouse\u003cbr\u003e\nAntibody Type: Monoclonal\u003cbr\u003e\nHost Species: Rat\u003cbr\u003e\nImmunogen: Recombinant C-terminal fragment of human 4R Tau protein encompassing amino acid residues 425-441.\u003cbr\u003e\nFormulation: This antibody is provided in 50% glycerol in aqueous buffered solutions with preservatives.\u003cbr\u003e\nPreparation: The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography and conjugated with HRP under optimal conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\nConcentration: 0.5 mg\/ml\u003cbr\u003e\nStorage \u0026amp; Handling: Upon receipt, the antibody solution should be stored undiluted at -20°C, and protected from prolonged exposure to light.\u003cbr\u003e\nApplication: WB - Quality tested IHC-P - Verified\u003cbr\u003e\nRecommended Usage: Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by Western blotting. For Western blotting, the suggested use of this reagent is 0.25 - 1.0 µg per ml. For immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue, a concentration range of 0.5 - 2.0 µg\/ml is suggested. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.\u003cbr\u003e\nApplication Notes: This antibody cross-reacts with 3R and 4R human Tau isoforms, and recognizes endogenous human and mouse Tau in brain lysates by WB.\u003cbr\u003e\nRRID: AB_2734635 (BioLegend Cat. No. 851104)\u003cbr\u003e\nStructure: Unmodified Tau isoforms have an apparent molecular weight ranging from 33-79 kD. Additional high and low molecular weight Tau species have been observed in brain tissues.\u003cbr\u003e\nDistribution: Tissue distribution: Central nervous system, peripheral ganglia and nerves, kidney, skeletal, and heart muscle. Cellular distribution: Cytoskeleton, nucleus, plasma membrane, and cytosol.\u003cbr\u003e\nFunction: Tau promotes microtubule assembly and stability. The short tau isoforms allow plasticity of the cytoskeleton whereas the longer isoforms may preferentially play a role in its stabilization.\u003cbr\u003e\nInteraction: Tau interacts with Sequestosome-1, Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase FKBP4, Casein kinase I isoform delta, Serine\/threonine-protein kinase Sgk1, Laforin, Alpha-synuclein\u003cbr\u003e\nBiology Area: Cell Biology, Neurodegeneration, Neuroscience, Protein Misfolding and Aggregation\u003cbr\u003e\nMolecular Family: Tau\u003cbr\u003e\nAntigen References: Augustinack JC, et al. 2002.
