The Tau (Phospho-Thr205) Antibody could play a role in the establishment and maintenance of neuronal polarity by promoting microtubule assembly and stability. It appears that tau serves as a linker protein between these processes, as the C-terminus binds axonal microtubules while the N-terminus binds neural plasma membrane components. Tau localization inside the neuronal cell, specifically in the centrosome-defined area of the cell body, predetermines axonal polarity. While longer isoforms may primarily contribute to the stabilization of the cytoskeleton, shorter isoforms permit greater plasticity.
