Mapt - microtubule-associated protein tau Gene
Also Known as Tau; pTau; Mtapt; RNPTAU; MAPT_0N4R
Species: Rattus norvegicus
About Mapt
This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants), 225 orthologues, 2 paralogues and is associated with 51 phenotypes. Biased expression in Brain (RPKM 355.), Kidney (RPKM 158.3) and 4 other tissues.
Summary
Enables several functions, including HSP90 protein binding activity; chaperone binding activity; and enzyme binding activity. Involved in several processes, including intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to oxidative stress; mRNA transport; and positive regulation of long-term synaptic depression. Located in several cellular components, including axon; cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane; and neuronal cell body. Colocalizes with microtubule. Used to study brain disease (multiple); cognitive disorder (multiple); obesity; and tauopathy (multiple). Biomarker of middle cerebral artery infarction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dementia (multiple); neurodegenerative disease (multiple); progressive supranuclear palsy; and temporal lobe epilepsy. Orthologous to human MAPT (microtubule associated protein tau). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
