Abstract excerpt
One of the major pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer disease is neurofibrillary tangles. Neurofibrillary tangles are bundles of paired helical filaments composed of hyperphosphorylated tau. Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) is one of the tau protein kinases that increase paired helical filament epitopes in tau by phosphorylation. Recently, various mutations of tau have been identified in frontotemporal dementia...
