Abstract excerpt
A loss in the regulatory mechanism that controls tau phosphorylation in normal brain is suggested to cause tau hyperphosphorylation in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain and the development of neurofibrillary tangles (NFT). 14-3-3 zeta protein and butyrylcholinesterase (BCHE) are associated with NFT in AD brain and stimulate tau phosphorylation. In a case-control study in 231 AD patients and 221 healthy controls, we...
