Description

The human Tau ELISA Kit is engineered for accurate measurement of human Tau levels from samples including serum, plasma, or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It uses the Sandwich-ELISA mechanism in combination with the enzyme-substrate chromogenic reaction to measure the Tau content in the sample. The color intensity is positively correlated with Tau content in the sample. The Tau concentration can be calculated according to the standard curve. This kit is tested with high sensitivity, strong specificity, good linearity, high precision and recovery, as well as lot-to-lot consistency.

Tau, also called MAPT, is the main component of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). As a stabilizing microtubule-associated protein (MAP), Tau primarily functions to protect microtubules (MTs) against depolymerization by decreasing the dissociation of tubulin at both MT ends, leading to an elevated growth rate and declined catastrophe frequency. In addition to being a stabilizer of microtubules, Tau is involved in multiple biological processes, including myelination, glucose metabolism, axonal transport, microtubule dynamics, iron homeostasis, neurogenesis, motor function, learning & memory, neuronal excitability, and DNA protection.

Target Background

Function
(From Uniprot)
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.

  17. Because neurofibrillary tangles are aberrant intracellular inclusions formed in the AD patients by hyperphosphorylated tau, it was initially proposed that phosphorylated and/or aggregated intracellular tau protein was causative of neuronal death. However, recent studies suggest a toxic role for non-phosphorylated and non-aggregated tau when it is located in the brain extracellular space. [review] PMID: 29584657

  34. Comparison of the distributions of tau pTyr18 and double-phosphorylated Syk in the transgenic mouse brain and human hippocampus showed that the phosphorylation of tyrosine 18 in tau already occurs at an early stage of tauopathy and increases with the progression of neurodegeneration.
