    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Phospho-Tau (Ser46) Rabbit Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of Tau protein only when phosphorylated at Ser46.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser46 of human Tau protein. Antibodies are purified by peptide affinity chromatography.

    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).

    Phosphorylation of Tau at Ser46 is induced by different kinases, including GSK-3β (4), casein kinase-1 (5), and p38MAPK (6). Tau phosphorylation at Ser46 has been linked to different neurodegenerative diseases, including in PHF-Tau from Alzheimer's disease (4,6), Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (7), and synucleinopathies (6).
