Abstract excerpt
The C-terminal region of the human neurofilament heavy subunit (NEFH) contains a unique functional domain consisting of 43 repeat motifs of the amino acids (aa) Lys-Ser-Pro (KSP) with either 3- or 5-aa spacers in between. Past studies have demonstrated that the serine in these KSP motifs can be phosphorylated, resulting in heavy phosphorylation of this domain. Recent studies provide strong evidence for a role of...
