Tau proteins are microtubule-associated proteins that are abundant in neurons in the central nervous system and are less common elsewhere.
Tau proteins interact with tubulin to stabilize microtubules and promote tubulin assembly into microtubules. Tau has two ways of controlling microtubule stability: isoforms and phosphorylation. This in turn can conduct to neurological troubles because the operation of the central spooky scheme costs disturbed, and depending on the area of the interruption, a patient can experience various symptoms.
When tau proteins are defective, and no longer stabilize microtubules properly, they can result in dementias such as Alzheimer's disease.
Tau proteins are proteins that stabilize microtubules. They are abundant in neurons of the central nervous system and are less common elsewhere, but are also expressed at very low levels in CNS astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. The neural tubes essentially act like coach chases for indicates to crack along the axon. Disruption in the even of tau protein can lead to instability in the neural tubes, which makes it difficult for neurons to pass signals along.
This contrasts with MAP6 (STOP) proteins in the proximal portions of axons which essentially lock down the microtubules and MAP2 that stabilizes microtubules in dendrites.
