Anti-TAU antibody detects endogenous levels of total TAU protein.
MAPT (microtubule associated protein tau) is located on human chromosome 17q21.3. It is expressed in neurons but is most prominent in axons.
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human Tau.
Immunogen Range: 266-315
Biochem/physiol Actions
Removal of MAPT results in developmental delay and learning disability. It participates in the pathology of Alzheimer′s disease (AD). It helps in the assembly and maintenance of microtubule structure.

A characteristic hallmark of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the pathological aggregation and deposition of tau into paired helical filaments (PHF) in neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). Oxidative stress is an early event during AD pathogenesis and is associated with tau-mediated AD pathology.

Alzheimer's disease is a tauopathy characterized by pathological fibrillization of tau protein to form the paired helical filaments (PHFs), which constitute neurofibrillary tangles. The methylthioninium (MT) moiety reverses the proteolytic stability of the PHF core and is in clinical development
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
