| Introduction | Tau is a neuronal microtubule associated protein found predominantly on axons. The function of Tau is to promote tubulin polymerisation and stabilise microtubules, but it also serves to link certain signalling pathways to the cytoskeleton. Tau, in its hyperphosphorylated form, is the major component of paired helical filaments (PHF) and neurofibrillary lesions in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain. Hyperphosphorylation impairs the microtubule binding function of Tau, resulting in the destabilisation of microtubules in AD brains, ultimately leading to the degeneration of the affected neurons. Hyperphosphorylated tau is also found in a range of other central nervous system disorders. Numerous serine/threonine kinases, including GSK3 beta, PKA, Cdk5, and casein kinase II can phosphorylate Tau. |

| Usage | |
|---|---|
| Application | WB, ELISA |
| Dilutions | Western Blot (1:1000); ELISA (1:100-1:2000) |
| Reactivity | Human |
| Specificity | Reacts with human Tau phosphorylated at threonine 231 and fetal tau. The antibody also reacts with dephosphorylated neurofibrillary tangles. MAB5450 is reactive with the Thr231 phosphorylated and diphosphorylated peptides. No reactivity with normal adult tau or with unphosphorylated or serine 235 phosphorylated protein. |
