Reacts in: Human

Immunogen/Epitope

Tau phosphorylated at threonine-231; also conformation-sensitive.

Specificity

Tau phosphorylated at threonine-231; also conformation-sensitive. Not reactive to normal tau. The TG3 epitope is expressed in mitotic cells but not in quiescent cells, suggesting that mitotic phosphoepitopes may lead to conformational changes.
