The C-terminus 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. The short isoforms allow plasticity of the cytoskeleton whereas the longer isoforms may preferentially play a role in its stabilization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScientific background (datasheet):\u003c\/strong\u003e The microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) coassemble with tubulin into microtubules in vitro. Microtubule-associated protein tau appears to be enriched in axons. Tau are composed of 352 to 441 amino acids. The isoforms differ from each other by the presence or absence of 29-amino acid or 58-amino acid inserts located in the N terminus and a 31-amino repeat located in the C terminus. tau is important in establishing and maintaining neuronal morphology and is a major component of the neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) characteristic of Alzheimer's brain. Microtubule-associated protein tau (MTBT1) is mapped to chromosome 17q21.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCellular localization (datasheet):\u003c\/strong\u003e Cytoplasm, cytosol.

The larger forms (isoform tau-A and isoform tau-B) are preferentially expressed in the peripheral nervous system while the other are expressed in the central nervous system. Low amounts of the larger forms are also found in limited areas of the CNS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSequence similarities (datasheet):\u003c\/strong\u003e Contains 4 Tau\/MAP repeats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommonly studied in contexts related to Neurodegenerative Disease,Neurology Process,Neuron Marker,Neuroscience,Signal Transduction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWestern blot (WB):\u003c\/strong\u003e Compare relative target abundance and apparent size\/isoforms across samples; interpret bands in light of expected MW and potential PTMs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmunohistochemistry (IHC):\u003c\/strong\u003e Assess tissue distribution and cell-type patterns; interpret staining with appropriate negative controls and antigen context.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsider isoforms, post-translational modifications, and processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCross-reactivity (datasheet):\u003c\/strong\u003e No cross-reactivity with other proteins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse appropriate positive and negative controls (e.g., KO\/KD, blocking peptide, or isotype controls) to support specificity interpretation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a monoclonal antibody, this reagent is expected to recognize a defined epitope, which can support consistency across lots when epitope accessibility is preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- Sources (internal):\u003cbr\u003e- Product datasheet fields provided in this catalog row (vendor-supplied).\u003cbr\u003e- UniProt Knowledgebase (general protein annotations): https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/\u003cbr\u003e- NCBI Gene (general gene-level references): https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/\u003cbr\u003e--\u003e","brand":"Boster Bio","offers":[{"title":"100 ug\/vial \/ Unconjugated","offer_id":53069781467501,"sku":"MA1093","price":370.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/anti-tau-mapt-antibody-monoclonal-tau-2-bha21006560","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
