Tau Protein Modifications and Interactions: Their Role in Function and Dysfunction

Tau Protein Modifications and Interactions: Their Role in Function and Dysfunction

Tau protein is abundant in the central nervous system and involved in microtubule assembly and stabilization. It is predominantly associated with axonal microtubules and present at lower level in dendrites where it is engaged in signaling functions. Post-translational modifications of tau and its in...
