Abstract excerpt
The microtubule-associated protein (MAP) Tau is an intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) primarily expressed in axons, where it functions to regulate microtubule dynamics, modulate motor protein motility, and participate in signaling cascades. Tau misregulation and point mutations are linked to neurodegenerative diseases, including progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), Pick's disease, and Alzheimer's disease....
