Abstract excerpt
Increased Ser phosphorylation of tau microtubule-associated protein in the brain is an early feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD) that precedes progression of the disease to frank neuronal disruption. We demonstrate that bradykinin (BK) B2 receptor activation leads to selective Ser phosphorylation of tau in skin fibroblasts from persons who have or will develop AD due to Presenilin 1 mutations or Trisomy 21, but...
