MAPT Antibody

MAPT is differentially expressed in the nervous system, depending on stage of neuronal maturation and neuron type. The mutations in the gene have been associated with several neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Pick's disease, frontotemporal dementia, cortico-basal degeneration and progressive supranuclear palsy.This gene encodes the microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) whose transcript undergoes complex, regulated alternative splicing, giving rise to several mRNA species. MAPT transcripts are differentially expressed in the nervous system, depending on stage of neuronal maturation and neuron type. MAPT gene mutations have been associated with several neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Pick's disease, frontotemporal dementia, cortico-basal degeneration and progressive supranuclear palsy.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store MAPT antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

MAPT antibody can be used for detection of MAPT by ELISA at 1:312500. MAPT antibody can be used for detection of MAPT by western blot at 0.5 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
