FTDP-17 tau mutations induce distinct effects on aggregation and microtubule interactions.
Biochemistry - 30 Oct 2012
Combs Benjamin, Gamblin T Chris
Abstract excerpt
FTDP-17 mutations in the tau gene lead to early onset frontotemporal dementias characterized by the pathological aggregation of the microtubule-associated protein tau. Tau aggregation is closely correlated with the progression and severity of localized atrophy of certain regions in the brain. These mutations are primarily located in or near the microtubule-binding repeat regions of tau and can have vastly...
