| Tau is a neuronal microtubule-associated protein found predominantly on axons. The function of tau is to promote tubulin polymerization and stabilize microtubules. Tau, in its hyperphosphorylated form, is the major component of paired helical filaments (PHF), the building block of neurofibrillary lesions in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) brain. Hyperphosphorylated tau is also found in neurofibrillary lesions in a range of other central nervous system disorders. Hyperphosphorylation impairs the microtubule binding function of tau, resulting in the destabilization of microtubules in AD brains, ultimately leading to the degeneration of the affected neurons. Numerous serine/threonine kinases, including GSK-3beta, protein kinase A (PKA), cyclin-dependent kinase 5 and casein kinase II, phosphorylate tau. Serine 396 is phosphorylated by GSK-3beta in vitro and in vivo. | | | Catalog # | T1032-66A | | Applications | Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. | | Recommended Dilution | Western Blot: 1:1000 | | Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. | | Positive Control | Recombinant human tau left untreated, or treated with GSK-3beta | | Storage and Stability | May be stored at 4°C for short-term only.
