Specificity / Sensitivity
Tau (Tau46) Mouse mAb (Biotinylated) detects endogenous levels of total tau protein and also cross-reacts with MAP2 at 280 kDa. Tau (Tau46) Mouse mAb (Biotinylated) is predicted to detect all six isoforms of tau based on the amino acid sequence.
Species Reactivity:
Human, Mouse, Rat
The antigen sequence used to produce this antibody shares 100% sequence homology with the species listed here, but reactivity has not been tested or confirmed to work by CST. Use of this product with these species is not covered under our Product Performance Guarantee.
Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology:
Bovine
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with native bovine tau and the epitope maps to the carboxy-terminus of the protein.
Background
Tau is a heterogeneous microtubule-associated protein that promotes and stabilizes microtubule assembly, especially in axons. Six isoforms with different amino-terminal inserts and different numbers of tandem repeats near the carboxy terminus have been identified, and tau is hyperphosphorylated at approximately 25 sites by Erk, glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3), and CDK5 (1,2). Phosphorylation decreases the ability of tau to bind to microtubules. Neurofibrillary tangles are a major hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD); these tangles are bundles of paired helical filaments (PHFs) composed of hyperphosphorylated tau. In particular, phosphorylation at Ser396 by GSK-3 or CDK5 destabilizes microtubules. Furthermore, research studies have shown that inclusions of tau are found in a number of other neurodegenerative diseases, collectively known as tauopathies (1,3).
