Abstract excerpt
Tau-tubulin kinase-1 (TTBK1) is a central nervous system (CNS)-specific protein kinase implicated in the pathological phosphorylation of tau. TTBK1-transgenic mice show enhanced neuroinflammation in the CNS. Double-transgenic mice expressing TTBK1 and frontotemporal dementia with parkinsonism-17-linked P301L (JNPL3) tau mutant (TTBK1/JNPL3) show increased accumulation of oligomeric tau protein in the CNS and...
