General description
The gene microtubule associated protein tau (MAPT) is localized on human chromosome 17q21.3. It is expressed in neurons, more specifically in axons.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Microtubule associated protein tau (MAPT) aids in the assembly and maintenance of microtubule structure. Loss of expression of MAPT results in developmental delay and learning disability. The protein has been associated with pathology of Alzheimer′s disease (AD).
Isoform of Tau, variant 1N3R, having 3 microtubule binding repeats (R) and one amino terminal insert (N).
Reconstitution
Lyophilized from MES, pH 6.8, containing NaCl and EGTA. When reconstituted in water to a protein concentration of 1 mg/mL, the resulting buffer will have ~50 mM MES, pH 6.8, 100 mM NaCl, and 0.5 mM EGTA.
