Secretion of human tau fragments resembling CSF‐tau in Alzheimer's disease is modulated by the presence of the exon 2 insert

Abstract excerpt
Abnormal tau cleavage is prominent in the neurofibrillary degeneration characteristic of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related tauopathies. We recently showed that cleaved human tau is secreted by specific mechanisms when overexpressed. Here we examined the effect of expressing N-terminal and full length tau constructs in transiently and stably transfected neuronal lines. We show that secreted tau exhibits a...
