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. Recombinant human Tau protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography.
