Tau (Ser416) Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

Tau is a key microtubule-associated protein that plays an important role in the formation of microtubules in axons (Binder et al. 1985) . Six tau isoforms have been identified as products of a single gene produced by alternative mRNA splicing (Goedert 1990) . Tau mutations have been implicated in many neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Pick’s disease and progressive supranuclear palsy. It has been well documented that hyperphosphorylated tau is a major component of paired helical filaments in AD brain (Lee 1995) . Ser-416 has been demonstrated to be a major phosphorylation site in vitro by CaM kinase II (Steiner at al. 1990) .

Conjugation

Unconjugated

Source

Synthetic phospho-peptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding Ser416 of rat tau, conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) .

Applications

WB, IHC

Purification

Antigen Affinity purification from Pooled whole antiserum

Concentration

Lot Dependent

Dilution

WB (1:300-5000), IHC ()

Buffer

10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg per ml BSA and 50% glycerol.

Modification

Phosphorylation

Storage Conditions

Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.

Specificity

Specific for ~59, 65, 68 kDa tau protein phosphorylated at Ser416. Immunolabeling is blocked by preadsorption with the phosphopeptide used as antigen, but not by the corresponding non-phosphopeptide.
