Tau protein, encoded by the MAPT gene, serves as a critical regulator of microtubule stability in neurons, and its phosphorylation state has become central to understanding neurodegenerative disease mechanisms. Phosphorylation at threonine 231 represents one of the earliest and most significant pathological modifications associated with tau dysfunction, making it a key biomarker for studying tauopathies including Alzheimer's disease. This specific phospho-epitope appears before the formation of neurofibrillary tangles, offering researchers a window into early disease processes.
This recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody, clone 1G9, provides the reproducibility essential for longitudinal studies and multi-site collaborations investigating tau pathology. Because the antibody sequence is defined and production occurs in controlled recombinant systems, you can expect consistent performance across lots—eliminating the variability that can complicate interpretation of phosphorylation changes over time or between experimental conditions.
Validation in western blot applications demonstrates reliable detection in HeLa whole cell lysates, with the antibody successfully distinguishing phosphorylated tau at the predicted 46 kDa molecular weight. Notably, comparative analysis using Calyculin A treatment—a phosphatase inhibitor that enhances phospho-protein detection—confirms the antibody's specificity for the phosphorylated epitope. The recommended working dilution range of 1:500 to 1:5000 provides flexibility for optimizing signal intensity across different experimental conditions and sample types.
For researchers investigating tau biology, neurodegeneration mechanisms, or screening therapeutic interventions targeting tau phosphorylation, this antibody offers a dependable tool for monitoring phospho-T231 status in human samples through both western blot and ELISA workflows.
