Recombinant Human Microtubule-Associated Protein Tau 412 a.a.

Source : Escherichia Coli. MAPT Human Recombinant fused with a 20 amino acid His tag at N-terminus produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 432 amino acids (1-412 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 45.1kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear higher) . The MAPT is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT or Tau) is a protein that stabilizes microtubules. MAPT is abundant in neurons in the central nervous system and is less common elsewhere. When MAPT is defective, and no longer stabilizes microtubules properly, it can result in dementias, such as Alzheimer's disease.
