DescriptionAnti-14-3-3 τ (tau) Antibody
Background InformationMammals express seven distinct 14-3-3 isoforms (gamma, epsilon, beta, zeta, sigma, theta, tau) that form multiple homo- and hetero- dimmers, thus rendering 14-3-3 as a key multifunctional regulatory molecule. 14-3-3 isomers have been implicated in several neurological disorders: for example isoforms gamma, epsilon and beta are expressed in the cerebrospinal fluid of Creutzfeldt-Jakob patients, but not patients suffering from other neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's.

The 14-3-3 tau antibody is one of a panel of antibodies that were generated against 14-3-3 isoforms and have demonstrated their potential for use as an ELISA-based diagnostic tool. These antibodies will allow the research to investigate the role of this protein in key cellular processes and neurological disorders such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease.

Applications
ApplicationDetect 14-3-3 τ (tau) using this Anti-14-3-3 τ (tau) Antibody validated for use in ELISA, WB, IH.
Key Applications
  • ELISA
  • Western Blotting
  • Immunohistochemistry
Application NotesWestern blot: 1:3,000 using ECL.
Immunohistochemistry: 1:30-1:60 on mouse brain tissue which was treated by hydrated autoclaving at 121°C for 15 minutes prior to immunolabeling. Endogenous peroxidase was blocked with hydrogen peroxide in methanol and non-specific labeling with normal goat serum at 1:20 for 5 minutes.
ELISA
Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.
Biological Information
ImmunogenSynthetic peptide from the N-terminal area of sheep 14-3-3 tau.
HostRabbit
Specificity14-3-3 tau (theta). By Western blot the antibody recognizes the ~30 kDa protein.

Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryThis gene product belongs to the 14-3-3 family of proteins which mediate signal transduction by binding to phosphoserine-containing proteins. This highly conserved protein family is found in both plants and mammals, and this protein is 99% identical to the mouse and rat orthologs. This gene is upregulated in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It contains in its 5' UTR a 6 bp tandem repeat sequence which is polymorphic, however, there is no correlation between the repeat number and the disease.

  • YWHAQ
  • HS1

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: P27348 # Adapter protein implicated in the regulation of a large spectrum of both general and specialized signaling pathway. Binds to a large number of partners, usually by recognition of a phosphoserine or phosphothreonine motif. Binding generally results in the modulation of the activity of the binding partner.
SIZE: 245 amino acids; 27764 Da
SUBUNIT: Interacts with PCTK1 (By similarity). Homodimer. Interacts with SSH1.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Note=In neurons, axonally transported to the nerve terminals.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Abundantly expressed in brain, heart and pancreas, and at lower levels in kidney and placenta. Up-regulated in the lumbar spinal cord from patients with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) compared with controls, with highest levels of expression in individuals with predominant lower motor neuron involvement.
SIMILARITY: SwissProt: P27348 ## Belongs to the 14-3-3 family.
