Tau, Recombinant, Human (Microtubule-associated Protein Tau Isoform 3, Neurofibrillary Tangle Protei

Tau, also known as microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT), is a protein that stabilizes microtubules. It is abundant in neurons in the central nervous system and is less common elsewhere. When this protein is defective, and no longer stabilizes microtubules properly, it can result in dementias, such as Alzheimer's disease. Source: Recombinant corresponding to aa1-383 of human Tau protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, expressed in E.coli.
