General description
Tau is a neuronal microtubule-associated protein found predominantly on axons and functions to promote tubulin polymerization and stabilize microtubules. Tau, in its hyperphosphorylated form, is the major component of paired helical filaments (PHF), the building block of neurofibrillary lesions in Alzheimer′s disease (AD) brain. Hyperphosphorylated Tau is also found in neurofibrillary lesions in a range of other central nervous system disorders. Hyperphosphorylation impairs the microtubule binding function of Tau, resulting in the destabilization of microtubules in AD brains, ultimately leading to the degeneration of the affected neurons. Numerous serine/threonine kinases, including GSK-3beta, protein kinase A (PKA), cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (cdk5) and casein kinase II (CK2), phosphorylate Tau. Serine 404 is phosphorylated by GSK-3beta and cdk5 in vitro and in vivo.
Specificity
Tau phosphoSerine 404. The antibody recognizes Tau pSerine 404 in samples of recombinant human Tau treated with GSK-3beta for 45 minutes. The reactivity of the antibody is blocked with the pSerine 404 peptide but not the non-phosphopeptide or a generic phosphoSerine-containing peptide.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide of amino acids surrounding the phosphoSerine 404 site of human Tau.
Application
Anti-Tau phospho Serine 404 Antibody is an antibody against Tau phospho Serine 404 for use in WB.
