MAPT / TAU pSer235 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Specifications

Product Data
Applications	WB
Recommend Dilution	Suitable for use in Western blot (1:500~1:1000).
Reactivity	Human, Mouse
Host	Rabbit
Clonality	Polyclonal
Immunogen	The antiserum was produced against synthesized phosphopeptide derived from human Tau around the phosphorylation site of serine 235 (P-K-SP-P-S).
Specificity	The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. The antibody against non-phosphopeptide was removed by chromatography using non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphorylation site. Tau (phospho-Ser235) antibody detects endogenous levels of Tau only when phosphorylated at serine 235.
Formulation	PBS (without Mg2+ and Ca2+), pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 0.02% Sodium Azide and 50% Glycerol. State: Aff - Purified State: Liquid purified Ig fraction.
Concentration	lot specific
Purification	Immunoaffinity chromatography.
Conjugation	Unconjugated
Storage Condition	Store the antibody (in aliquots) at -20°C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Gene Name	microtubule associated protein tau
Database Link	Entrez Gene 4137 Human UniProt ID P10636
Background	Tau is a neuronal microtubule associated protein found predominantly on axons. The function of Tau is to promote tubulin polymerisation and stabilise microtubules, but it also serves to link certain signalling pathways to the cytoskeleton. Tau, in its hyperphosphorylated form, is the major component of paired helical filaments (PHF) and neurofibrillary lesions in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain. Hyperphosphorylation impairs the microtubule binding function of Tau, resulting in the destabilisation of microtubules in AD brains, ultimately leading to the degeneration of the affected neurons. Hyperphosphorylated tau is also found in a range of other central nervous system disorders. Numerous serine/threonine kinases, including GSK3 beta, PKA, Cdk5, and casein kinase II can phosphorylate Tau.
Synonyms	MAPTL, MTBT1, Microtubule-associated protein tau, PHF-tau, Neurofibrillary tangle protein, Paired helical filament-tau
