Abstract excerpt
The abnormal phosphorylation of the microtubule-associated protein tau is a prominent aspect of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Considerable evidence suggests that glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) and the protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) are involved in normal and pathological tau phosphorylation. However, the mechanisms underlying a shift of the phosphorylation/dephosphorylation balance that leads to abnormal tau...
