IHC-P, Direct ELISA - Verified - Recommended Usage
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by Western blotting. For Western blotting, the suggested use of this reagent is 1.0 - 5.0 ?g/ml.?For immunohistochemical staining on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections, a concentration range of 0.2 - 1.0 ?g/ml is suggested. For Direct ELISA, a concentration range of 0.01 - 1.0 ?g/ml is recommended. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
- Application Notes
This antibody cross-reacts with 3R and 4R human Tau isoforms, and recognizes endogenous human, mouse, and rat Tau in brain lysates by WB.

Antigen Details
- Structure
- Unmodified Tau isoforms have an apparent molecular weight ranging from 33-79 kD. Additional high and low molecular weight Tau species have been observed in brain tissues.
- Distribution
-
Tissue distribution: central nervous system, peripheral ganglia and nerves, kidney, skeletal, and heart muscle.
Cellular distribution: cytoskeleton, nucleus, plasma membrane, and cytosol. - Function
- Tau promotes microtubule assembly and stability. The short tau isoforms allow plasticity of the cytoskeleton whereas the longer isoforms may preferentially play a role in its stabilization.
- Interaction
- Tau interacts with Sequestosome-1, Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase FKBP4, Casein kinase I isoform delta, Serine/threonine-protein kinase Sgk1, Laforin, Alpha-synuclein
