MAP-τ is a low molecular weight member of the microtubule associated protein or MAP family.
Several serious human diseases are associated with accumulations of MAP-τ, usually referred to as tau protein, most notably the neurofibrillary tangles of Alzheimer’s disease.
Accumulations of tau in neurons are also characteristic of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, Pick’s disease and several other neurodegenerative diseases.
Together these disorders are known as “tauopathies”.
The single mammalian tau gene produces at least 9 different proteins by alternate transcription.
In the central nervous system 6 isoforms ranging from 48-67kD by SDS-PAGE predominate, though larger isotypes are seen mostly in the peripheral nervous system.
The tau molecules are very heavily charged and run on SDS-PAGE much more slowly than predicted from their real molecular size.
For example the smallest human tau isotype runs at 48kD on SDS-PAGE but the real molecular weight is 32kD.
Tau proteins are substrates for ser/thr phosphorylation and other post-translational modifications.
