Microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) is a neuronal protein that is involved in cellular apoptosis and microtubule organization. Alterations in MAPT have been linked to neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson′s and Alzheimer′s disease. Rabbit Anti-MAPT antibody recognizes human, mouse, and rat MAPT.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human MAPT
Application
Rabbit Anti-MAPT antibody is suitable for western blot applications at a concentration of 0.5μg/ml.
Biochem/physiol Actions
MAPT is differentially expressed in the nervous system, depending on stage of neuronal maturation and neuron type. The mutations in the gene have been associated with several neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer′s disease, Pick′s disease, frontotemporal dementia, cortico-basal degeneration and progressive supranuclear palsy.This gene encodes the microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) whose transcript undergoes complex, regulated alternative splicing, giving rise to several mRNA species. MAPT transcripts are differentially expressed in the nervous system, depending on stage of neuronal maturation and neuron type. MAPT gene mutations have been associated with several neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer′s disease, Pick′s disease, frontotemporal dementia, cortico-basal degeneration and progressive supranuclear palsy.

Microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) is a neuronal protein involved in the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson's Disease (PD). Glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3B) catalyzes phosphorylation in multiple sites of tau protein. However, whether or not there is

The hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology is an accumulation of amyloid β (Aβ) and phosphorylated tau, which are encoded by the amyloid precursor protein (APP) and microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) genes, respectively. Less than 5% of all AD cases
