Abstract excerpt
The paired helical filaments (PHF) found in the brain of patients with Alzheimer disease (AD) are composed primarily of the microtubule-associated protein tau. Six isoforms of tau have been recognized and all are present in a hyperphosphorylated state in PHF. It is not known whether all tau isoforms serve equally well as substrates for various kinases. In this study we have compared the phosphorylation of human...
