Tau alternative splicing in familial and sporadic tauopathies
20 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
Six tau isoforms differing in their affinity for microtubules are produced by alternative splicing from the MAPT (microtubule-associated protein tau) gene in adult human brain. Several MAPT mutations causing the familial tauopathy, FTDP-17 (frontotemporal dementia with parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17), affect alternative splicing of exon 10, encoding a microtubule-binding motif. Advanced RNA analysis methods...
