Abstract excerpt
Tau is a microtubule-associated protein whose transcript undergoes complex regulated splicing in the mammalian nervous system. In humans, exon 10 of the gene is an alternatively spliced cassette which is adult-specific and which codes for a microtubule binding domain. Mutations that affect splicing of exon 10 have been shown to cause inherited frontotemporal dementia (FTDP). In this study, we reconstituted...
