Figure 2. Transcripts for mouse tau

The three major tau transcripts were designated Tau-2, Tau-4, and Tau-6. The Ensembl transcript ENSMUST00000018555 was used to design gene-specific primers. Exons are indicated by vertical lines. Horizontal arrows indicate the sites for sequence-specific primers. The following nucleotides correspond to the primers: Exon 2 forward primer: nucleotide +12 to +35; Exon 4 forward primer: nucleotide +431 to +456; Exon 6 forward primer: nucleotide +905 to +928; Exon 7 reverse primer: antisense of nucleotide +1268 to +1245.
