Recombinant Human Microtubule-associated protein tau/MAPT Protein

Proteins

Store at -20°C.Store the lyophilized protein at -20°C to -80°C up to 1 year from the date of receipt. |After reconstitution, the protein solution is stable at -20°C for 3 months, at 2-8°C for up to 1 week.

Centrifuge the vial before opening. Reconstitute to a concentration of 0.1-0.5 mg/mL in sterile distilled water. Avoid votex or vigorously pipetting the protein. For long term storage, it is recommended to add a carrier protein or stablizer (e.g. 0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose), and aliquot the reconstituted protein solution to minimize free-thaw cycles.

MAPT (microtubule-associated protein tau) can produce tau proteins. Tau proteins are proteins that stabilize microtubules. They are abundant in neurons of the central nervous system and are less common elsewhere, but are also expressed at very low levels in CNS astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. When tau proteins are defective, and no longer stabilize microtubules properly, they can result in dementias such as Alzheimer"s disease. Tau protein is a highly soluble microtubule-associated protein (MAP). In humans, these proteins are mostly found in neurons compared to non-neuronal cells. One of tau"s main functions is to modulate the stability of axonal microtubules. Other nervous system MAPs may perform similar functions, as suggested by tau knockout mice, who did not show abnormalities in brain development - possibly because of compensation in tau deficiency by other MAPs.Tau-F is known as "2N4R, " "Isoform Tau-F, " "Tau-4" or "Tau 441", which consisting of 441 amino acid. Tau-F is a potential therapeutic target for pathogenesis.
