Active Recombinant Tau441 (2N4R), P301S Mutant Protein Pre-formed Fibrils are intended for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or clinical procedures. The Active Tau Protein Pre-formed Fibrils is For Research Use Only Specificity: N/A Species: Mouse Expression System: E. coli Buffer: PBS pH 7.4 Alternative Names: Active tau PFFs, active tau protein preformed fibrils, active tau aggregates, microtubule-associated protein tau, MAPT, MAP, microtubule-associated protein, Paired Helical Filament-Tau, Phf-Tau, Neurofibrillary Tangle Protein, G Protein Beta1/Gamma2 Subunit-Interacting Factor 1, Isoform 4, tubulin-associated unit, mouse tau protein, P301S mutant tau, 2N4R tau, Tau441 Scientific Background Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease, affecting 10% of seniors over the age of 65 (1). It was named after Alois Alzheimer, a German scientist who discovered tangled bundles of fibrils where neurons had once been in the brain of a deceased patient in 1907 (2). Tau (tubulin-associated unit) is normally located in the axons of neurons where it stabilizes microtubules. Tauopathies such as AD are characterized by neurofibrillary tangles containing hyperphosphorylated tau fibrils (3). 2N4R, or Tau-441 is the full length tau protein. P301S is a mutation encoded by exon 10 (4) that impairs the ability of tau to assemble microtubules (5).
