Abstract excerpt
The aggregation of tau, a microtubule-associated protein, is known to play an important role in several neurological disorders including Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease is considered to be associated with the dyshomeostasis of metal ions such as aluminum, zinc, copper, and ferric ions. Tau is predominately acetylated at the K274 residue in Alzheimer's disease, and the acetylation of the K274 residue is...
