Tau Promoter Confers Neuronal Specificity and Binds Sp1 and AP‐2

Abstract excerpt

Tau, a microtubule-associated protein, is encoded by a single gene, whose expression is primarily neuronal. In this work, we defined an 80-bp region of the tau promoter that confers tau protein with neuronal expression. This fragment works in conjunction with an endogenous initiation region to activate neuronal precursor-specific transcription of the tau promoter and works independently of this initiation region...
