Abstract excerpt
A reduced activity of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) has been shown in brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder characterized histopathologically by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Tau, as the principal component of neurofibrillary tangles, can be hyperphosphorylated by a reduced activity of PP2A in vitro and by pharmacological approaches, suggesting a crucial...
