Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other tauopathies are characterized by fibrillar inclusions composed of the microtubule-associated protein, tau. Recently, we demonstrated that the N-terminus of tau (amino acids [aa] 2-18) in filamentous aggregates or N-terminal tau isoforms activate a signaling cascade involving protein phosphatase 1 and glycogen synthase kinase 3 that results in inhibition of anterograde fast...
