Introduction
Tau protein is a highly soluble microtubule-associated protein (MAP) that is abundant in neurons of the central nervous system and relatively poorly expressed in non-neuronal cells (astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, etc.). One of its main functions is to maintain axonal microtubule stability and ensure normal brain function. The neurofibrillary tangles observed in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other tau lesions are aggregations of paired helical fibrils composed of hyperphosphorylated tau.
