The C-terminus of Tau 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. Tau is expressed predominantly in neurons. Human Tau is expressed at least as 9 isoforms. The long PNS-tau isoform is expressed in the peripheral nervous system while the others are expressed in the central nervous system. The short isoforms allow plasticity of the cytoskeleton whereas the longer isoforms may preferentially play a role in its stabilization. Tau is phosphorylated at various serine and threonine residues. Tau phosphorylation impairs the Tau ability to bind microtubules and leads to microtubule depolymerization. Hyperphosphorylated Tau is the major component of paired helical filaments, the building block of neurofibrillary lesions in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) brain. Tau truncation can affect Tau pathologic characteristics, including its ability to acquire AD-related conformations and to assemble into filaments. Amyloid-beta protein can trigger caspase activation and cellular apoptosis. Several activated caspases, including caspase-3, caspase-7, and caspase-8, can cleave Tau at a highly conserved sequence present in all isoforms generating Cleaved Tau with …SSTGSIDMVD sequence at the carboxy terminus. This carboxy terminal Asp corresponds to, for example, Asp738 of human canonical PNS isoform, Asp421 of human Tau-F isoform, or Asp713 of mouse canonical PNS isoform. The cleavage of Tau at this site is an important inducer of Tau polymerization in AD. This kit is designed to detect all Tau isoforms only when cleaved at the above described site.\u003cbr\u003e\nREACH authorisation\u003cbr\u003e\nAbcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-+4°C, Storage information-+4°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nTau also known as microtubule-associated protein Tau (MAPT) plays an important role in stabilizing microtubules in neuronal cells. Tau is primarily found in the central nervous system but also exists in peripheral neurons. Human Tau protein comes in six isoforms due to alternative splicing with molecular weights ranging from 48 kDa to 67 kDa. This protein predominantly locates in the axons of neurons where it maintains the stability of microtubule tracks necessary for axonal transport.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nTau is involved in the assembly and stabilization of microtubules essential for maintaining neuronal structure. It interacts with microtubule-binding domains (MBD) to bind and bundle microtubules facilitating intracellular transport. Tau forms a part of the neuronal cytoskeleton complex working closely with other cytoskeletal proteins to preserve the proper axonal transport and function. Abnormally phosphorylated Tau often termed phospho-Tau disrupts this complex affecting microtubule stability.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nTau has critical involvement in several signaling cascades such as the microtubule-binding and transport pathways. Glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3β) and cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) frequently phosphorylate Tau controlling its interaction with microtubules. Phosphorylated Tau accumulates leading to the formation of neurofibrillary tangles often observed in neurodegenerative conditions. Additionally Tau interacts with GAPDH impacting cellular energy regulation through potential pathway cross-talk involving oxidative stress responses.\u003cbr\u003e\nTau is closely associated with Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia. In Alzheimer's disease hyperphosphorylated Tau aggregates into paired helical filaments forming neurofibrillary tangles while similar aggregates are observed in frontotemporal dementia. In these conditions Tau links to amyloid precursor protein (APP) where misregulated phosphorylation-driven interactions contribute to neurodegeneration. Identifying phospho-Tau and its altered interactions with related proteins aids in understanding and potentially treating these disorders.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843576484009,"sku":"ab269557","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab269557","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
