    Product Information

    Product Description

    The rapid protocol (RP) PathScan® RP Phospho-Tau (Ser396) Sandwich ELISA Kit is a solid phase sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that detects endogenous levels of tau protein phosphorylated at Ser396 in a reduced assay time of 1.5 hours. Incubation of cell lysates and detection antibody on the coated microwell plate forms a sandwich with tau protein phosphorylated at Ser396 in a single step. The plate is then extensively washed and TMB reagent is added for signal development. The magnitude of absorbance for the developed color is proportional to the quantity of tau protein phosphorylated at Ser396. Learn more about all of your ELISA kit options here.

    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    The PathScan® RP Phospho-Tau (Ser396) Sandwich ELISA Kit detects endogenous levels of tau protein phosphorylated at Ser396. The kit sensitivity is shown in Figures 1 and 2. This kit detects proteins from the indicated species, as determined through in-house testing, but may also detect homologous proteins from other species.

    Human, Mouse, Rat

    Background

    Tau is a heterogeneous microtubule-associated protein that promotes and stabilizes microtubule assembly, especially in axons. Six isoforms with different amino-terminal inserts and different numbers of tandem repeats near the carboxy terminus have been identified, and tau is hyperphosphorylated at approximately 25 sites by Erk, glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3), and CDK5 (1,2). Phosphorylation decreases the ability of tau to bind to microtubules. Neurofibrillary tangles are a major hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD); these tangles are bundles of paired helical filaments (PHFs) composed of hyperphosphorylated tau. In particular, phosphorylation at Ser396 by GSK-3 or CDK5 destabilizes microtubules. Furthermore, research studies have shown that inclusions of tau are found in a number of other neurodegenerative diseases, collectively known as tauopathies (1,3).
