Description

Tau 2N4R fragment (244–260) is a 17-amino-acid peptide fragment spanning residues 244–260 of human tau 2N4R. All residue numbers refer to the 441-residue 2N4R isoform, UniProt P10636-8. The designation 2N4R identifies two N-terminal inserts and four microtubule-binding repeats in the parent protein. Sequence reference: UniProt P10636-8.

Research context

The fragment covers R1 residues 244–260. Its defined sequence boundaries provide a focused region for studies comparing tau repeat segments and longer chains.

Tau is a microtubule-associated protein encoded by MAPT. The parent protein contributes to microtubule assembly and stability, while tau self-association and amyloid formation are studied in Alzheimer’s disease and other tauopathies. Sequence-defined proteins and fragments help distinguish the roles of individual regions from the behavior of the complete isoform. Research reference.

Research applications

  • Comparing defined tau 2N4R sequences, fragments, and substitution variants.
  • Mapping regional contributions to tau conformation and molecular association.
  • Sequence-focused investigation of tau assembly in in vitro research systems.
