Abstract excerpt
The tau microtubule-associated proteins are axonal proteins that have been implicated in axonal outgrowth, microtubule spacing, and microtubule bundling. Moreover, tau is the major structural component of the paired helical filaments present in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients. The Caenorhabditis elegans Genome Sequencing Consortium identified a genomic sequence with homology to the repeat region of...
