MAPT (microtubule associated protein tau) is located on human chromosome 17q21.3. This gene is expressed in neurons but is most prominent in axons.
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human Tau around the phosphorylation site of Thr205.
Immunogen Range: 491-540
Biochem/physiol Actions
MAPT (microtubule associated protein tau) participates in the pathology of Alzheimer′s disease (AD). It helps in the assembly and maintenance of microtubule structures. Removal of MAPT results in developmental delay and learning disability.

Previously, we revealed that brain Ang-(1-7) deficiency was involved in the pathogenesis of sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD). We speculated that restoration of brain Ang-(1-7) levels might have a therapeutic effect against AD. However, the relatively short duration of biological effect
Microdeletion encompassing MAPT at chromosome 17q21. 3 is associated with developmental delay and learning disability.
