Tau (phospho-S519) polyclonal antibody, anti-human, mouse, rat

Background:
Tau, also known as MAPT (microtubule-associated protein tau), MAPTL, MTBT1 or TAU, is a 758 amino acid protein that localizes to the cytoplasm, as well as to the cytoskeleton and the cell membrane, and contains four Tau/MAP repeats. Expressed in neuronal tissue and existing as multiple alternatively spliced isoforms, Tau functions to promote microtubule assembly and stability and is thought to be involved in the maintenance of neuronal polarity. Tau may also link microtubules with neural plasma membrane components and, addition to its role in microtubule stability, is also necessary for cytoskeletal plasticity.

Alternative Name:
Microtubule-associated protein tau, Neurofibrillary tangle protein, Paired helical filament-tau, PHF-tau, MAPT, MAPTL, MTBT1, TAU

Application Dilution:
WB: 1:500~1:1000

Specificity: Tau (phospho-S519) polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of Tau protein only when phosphorylated at Ser519.

Immunogen:
Synthetic phosphopeptide derived from human Tau around the phosphorylation site of Serine 519

MW: ~ 50-80 kDa

Swiss-Prot: P10636

Purification & Purity:
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE).
