The following MICROTUBULE ASSOCIATED PROTEIN TAU ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of microtubule associated protein tau in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the MAPT gene. This protein is reported to promote microtubule assembly and stability, and might be involved in the establishment and maintenance of neuronal polarity. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid sequence of 758 residues and a mass of 78.9 kDa. Its subcellular location is known to be in the cell membrane, cytoplasm, and is secreted. In addition, it is notably expressed in neurons. As many as 9 protein isoforms have been reported. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally O-glycosylated, ubiquitinated and phosphorylated. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Frontotemporal dementia. This protein may also be known as FTDP-17, MAPTL, MSTD, MTBT1, MTBT2, PPND, PPP1R103, and DDPAC.
The detection range for different MICROTUBULE ASSOCIATED PROTEIN TAU ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 1 ng/L and as high as 10 ng/mL.
