Anti-Tau-tubulin kinase 1 TTBK1 Antibody

Tau tubulin kinase (TTBK1) belongs to the casein kinase 1 superfamily and is involved in the phosphorylation of specific serine/threonine residues in paired helical filaments of the tau protein. It is specifically expressed in the brain and induces tau aggregation in human neuronal cells in a dose-dependent manner. TTBK1 levels have been found to be upregulated in the brains of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, and mice expressing human TTBK1 protein showed significant age-dependent memory impairment. These mice displayed increased levels of the CDK5 activators p25 and p35, and reduced levels of the NMDA receptor types 2B and 2D, suggesting that TTBK1 may play a role in memory dysfunction in AD patients.

TTBK1 antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid synthetic peptide near the carboxy terminus of human TTBK1. The immunogen is located within amino acids 1190 - 1240 of TTBK1.

Expressed in the brain, particularly in cortical and hippocampal neurons. Weakly expressed in spinal cord and testis. No expression in adipose tissue, bladder, cervix, colon, esophagus, heart, kidney, liver, lung, ovary, placenta, prostate, skeletal muscle, small intestine, spleen, testis, thymus, thyroid or trachea.

TTBK1 antibody can be stored at 4°C for three months and -20°C, stable for up to one year. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
