Immunogen:
Tau (Phospho-Thr231) antibody was raised against a peptide sequence around phosphorylation site of threonine 231 (V-R-T (p) -P-P) derived from Human Tau.
Conjugate:
Unconjugated
Tested Applications:
IHC, WB
Application Note:
Western Blot: 1:500~1:1000, Immunohistochemistry: 1:50~1:100
Specificity:
This antibody detects endogenous level of Tau only when phosphorylated at threonine 231.

Background:
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 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.
