Abstract excerpt
Aberrant phosphorylated tau is the major component of the neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains. Glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3beta) phosphorylates tau protein, and increased GSK-3beta expression has been associated with neurofibrillary tangles. Saitohin (STH) is a recently identified protein that shares tissue expression pattern with tau, and previous evidence in the Spanish...
