Product details:
Human 14-3-3 theta + tau ELISA Kit (ab246543) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of 37694 tau protein in cell culture extracts. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human 37694 tau with 6.1 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.
14-3-3 Theta + Tau is a 245- amino acid containing adapter protein encoded by the gene YWHAQ. 14-3-3 tau belongs to the 14-3-3 family of proteins that are involved in a broad range of cell signaling pathways by binding to numerous other proteins, generally by recognition of either a phosphoserine or phosphothreonine motif. 14-3-3 theta + tau is highly conserved across species and has been shown to be involved in cellular processes including metabolism, protein trafficking, signal transduction, and apoptosis.

14-3-3 Theta also known as 14-3-3 protein theta is a member of the 14-3-3 protein family which consists of seven distinct isoforms in humans. It acts as an adaptor or scaffold aiding in the regulation of signal transduction pathways by binding to phosphoserine-containing proteins. The protein typically has a molecular mass of approximately 28-32 kDa. It is abundantly expressed in various tissues with a high concentration in the brain where it interacts with a number of neuronal proteins.
Biological function summary
14-3-3 Theta plays a significant role in cell cycle regulation apoptosis and brain development. It often forms part of larger protein complexes acting as a bridge to facilitate interactions between different proteins. The protein aids in maintaining cellular homeostasis and mediates various signal transduction processes by changing the conformation of its binding partners which influences their activity.
Pathways
14-3-3 Theta is actively involved in the MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT pathways which are critical for cell proliferation differentiation and survival. Through these pathways the protein interacts with a variety of partners including thr-308-phosphorylated Akt and Raf kinases. 14-3-3 Theta's ability to bind different phosphorylated targets enables it to influence diverse cellular processes within these pathways.
14-3-3 Theta has been linked to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Notably its interaction with tau protein plays an important role in Alzheimer's disease as abnormal phosphorylation and aggregation of tau is a characteristic of the disorder. Furthermore disruptions in 14-3-3 Theta function have connections to cancer by interacting with signaling proteins like the tumor suppressor p53 leading to altered cell growth and survival.
