General description
Microtubule Associated Proteins, or MAPS, bind to the tubulin subunits of microtubule structures and regulate their functional stability. In the cell MAPs bind to monomer and multimerized tubulin. MAP binding to multimerized tubulin further stabilizes the formation of higher order microtubulin structures. MAP binding to microtubule structures is mediated through phosporylation through Microtubule Affinity Regulated Kinase (MARK). Phosphorylation releases MAPs bound to microtubules, destabilizing the structure, driving it toward disassembly. There are predominately two MAP types, I, II. Type II MAP includes MAP2, MAP4, and tau and are found in nervous tissue. Six tau isoforms exist in brain tissue, and they are distinguished by their number of binding domains. Three isoforms have three binding domains and the other three have four binding domains. The binding domains are located in the carboxy-terminus of the protein and are positively-charged (allowing it to bind to the negatively-charged microtubule). The isoforms with four binding domains are better at stabilizing microtubules than those with three binding domains.
Specificity
Cross-reactivity with mouse and bovine expected due to sequence homology.
Recognizes Tau (4-repeat isoform RD4), Mr 45-65 kDa. Higher MW band (68-72 kDa) represents phosphorylated Tau.
Immunogen
Bovine thyroglobulin-conjugated synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 275-291 (VQIINKKLDLSNVQSKC) of human Tau (4-repeat isoform RD4). Region is flanking junction coded by adjacent exons 9 & 11 with the inclusion of exon 10. The immunizing sequence is identical in human, rat, mouse and bovine.
Application
Immunohistochemistry:
This antibody has been reported by an independent laboratory to detect Tau (4-repeat isoform RD4) in autoclaved paraffin brain sections. (De Silva, R., 2003;Togo, T., 2002)

Storage and Stability
Stable for 1 year at -20°C from date of receipt.
Handling Recommendations: Upon first thaw, and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance. Note: Variabillity in freezer temperatures below -20°C may cause glycerol containing solutions to become frozen during storage.

Tau is a microtubule-associated protein implicated in neurodegenerative tauopathies. Alternative splicing of the tau gene (MAPT) generates six tau isoforms, distinguishable by the exclusion or inclusion of a repeat region of exon 10, which are referred to as 3-repeat (3R)

We demonstrate that the microtubule-associated protein tau, in the form of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) tau, is transported along axons of neurons in culture in the slow component of axonal transport with a speed comparable with that previously measured
