Tau is a protein encoded by the MAPT gene which is approximately 78, 9 kDa. Tau is localised to the cytoplasm and cell membrane. It is involved in the apoptotic cleavage of cellular proteins, MAPK signalling pathway, CDK-mediated phosphorylation and removal of Cdc6 and development slit-robo signalling. It promotes microtubule assembly and stability, and might be involved in the establishment and maintenance of neuronal polarity. The C-terminus binds axonal microtubules while the N-terminus binds neural plasma membrane components, suggesting that tau functions as a linker protein. Tau is expressed in neurons. Mutations in the MAPT gene may result in Frontotemporal dementia. STJ95911 was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen. This polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of Tau protein.
