SMC^® Human pTau217 High Sensitivity Immunoassay Kit

Tau protein is primarily a structural protein in neurons of the central nervous. Found as at least six different isoforms, these proteins are thought to provide structure, enable signaling, and regulate transport. In disease states, Tau proteins can become hyperphosphorylated and create tauopathies in the form of neurofibrillary or gliofibrillary tangles commonly associated with Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease. Tau protein phosphorylated at threonine-217 is referred to as Phospho-Tau217 (pTau217). pTau217 is thought to be a promising marker for Alzheimer’s disease as it can be detected in serum or plasma and is strongly associated with physiological brain changes.
