Tau Peptide (273-284)

Description:

Tau Peptide (273-284), associated with the CAS number 1663490-91-2, is a synthetic peptide derived from the tau protein, which is primarily found in neuronal cells. This peptide corresponds to a specific sequence within the tau protein that is implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease. Characteristically, it is composed of amino acids that contribute to its ability to interact with microtubules and influence their stability, which is crucial for neuronal function. The peptide is often studied for its role in tau aggregation and the formation of neurofibrillary tangles, a hallmark of Alzheimer's pathology. In terms of physical properties, tau peptides are typically soluble in aqueous solutions, and their behavior can be influenced by factors such as pH and ionic strength. Research on this peptide focuses on understanding its biological activity, potential as a therapeutic target, and its role in the pathophysiology of tau-related disorders.
