Application
Western blot analysis of MAPT (arrow) using rabbit MAPT Antibody (S720). 293 cell lysates (2 ug/lane) either nontransfected (Lane 1) or transiently transfected with the MAPT gene (Lane 2) (Origene Technologies).Application
Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded human brain tissue reacted with MAPT Antibody (S720) , which was peroxidase-conjugated to the secondary antibody, followed by DAB staining. This data demonstrates the use of this antibody for immunohistochemistry; clinical relevance has not been evaluated.| Product Name | TAU (MAPT) Antibody (S720) |

| Function | 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 between both. Axonal polarity is predetermined by TAU/MAPT localization (in the neuronal cell) in the domain of the cell body defined by the centrosome. The short isoforms allow plasticity of the cytoskeleton whereas the longer isoforms may preferentially play a role in its stabilization |
| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in neurons. Isoform PNS-tau is expressed in the peripheral nervous system while the others are expressed in the central nervous system |
| Cellular Localization | Cytoplasm, cytosol. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cell projection, axon. Note=Mostly found in the axons of neurons, in the cytosol and in association with plasma membrane components |
