FTLD-MAPT mutations and short 5′UTR Tau mRNAs increase Tau translation

Abstract excerpt

Tau protein plays a central role in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other tauopathies. Tau proteins aggregate in degenerating neurons and their expression level is critical for disease development and progression. In addition, the generation of truncated Tau species is involved in the pathological process. In the human brain, several N-terminally truncated Tau species (including Met11- and Met127-Tau) have been...
