I'm doing some research on tau protein phosphorylation. When I'm looking for antibody of pTau T217, I just found antibodys(ELISA Kits) of pTau T534 saying it's for pTau T217. I searched NCBI protein database, microtubule-associated protein tau isoform 2 [Homo sapiens] with full length of 441 have the Thr on 217 which is the same with what I learned from school. But why there is a T534? Are they the same?

Hi Sebastian Schmitt
, thanks for answering my question again. I know about the 758aa tau. But usually, when we talking about tau protein, I think it's 2N4R 441 one. Although we are supposed to count the amino acids from the N-terminals, there always be some different ways.Some evidence showing that T534 they concerned are the same as T217. And I've emailed them or made a phone call to the kit's company to confirm that.
I'm here looking for more confirmation from researchers know about this point.
