Tau Protein Alzheimer's ~ Definition: Overview Research Papers on Tau Protein Alzheimer's



Tau Protein Alzheimer's ~ Definition: Overview Research Papers on Tau Protein Alzheimer's
Tau Protein Definition-I: A protein found in the axons of healthy neurons, where it binds to other proteins called microtubules to form the cytoskeleton of the neuron and provide the tracks over which material can be transported from one part of the neuron to another. http://www.answers.com/topic/tau-protein#ixzz1Vx45TwC7
Tau Protein Definition-II
(Biochemistry) a protein that maintains the stability of the microtubules that serve as a transport system within brain cells. It is also implicated in the formation of masses of fibrous protein in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease. http://www.science-dictionary.com/definition/tau-protein.html
Tau Protein Definition-III
A microtubule-associated protein that forms insoluble and hyperphosphorylated aggregates in Alzheimer's disease. http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/tau+protein
Tau Protein Definition-IV 
(Science: cell biology) protein (60-70 kD) that co purifies with tubulin through cycles of assembly and disassembly and the first microtubule associated protein to be characterised. Tau proteins are a family made by alternative splicing of a single gene. It has tandem repeats of a tubulin binding domain and promotes tubulin assembly. Although tau proteins are found in all cells they are major components of neurons where they are predominantly associated with microtubules of the axon. http://www.biology-online.org/dictionary/Tau_protein
Tau Protein Definition-V 
Microtubule-associated proteins that are mainly expressed in neurons. Tau proteins constitute several isoforms and play an important role in the assembly of tubulin monomers into microtubules and in maintaining the cytoskeleton and axonal transport. Aggregation of specific sets of tau proteins in filamentous inclusions is the common feature of intraneuronal and glial fibrillar lesions (NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES; NEUROPIL THREADS) in numerous neurodegenerative disorders (ALZHEIMER DISEASE; TAUOPATHIES). http://medconditions.net/tau-protein.html

Tau Phosphorylation ~ Definition, Overview & Research Papers of Tau Phosphorylation ~ Tau Protein Blog

Tau phosphorylation and Alzheimer's disease
Tau protein forms the tangles that are one of the two recognisable features of Alzheimer’s disease morphology (the other being the amyloid plaques).
Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation are part of the normal processing tau undergoes in the healthy nerve cell in the brain. Tau protein can form the tangles that are observed in the brain of people with Alzheimer's disease following overproduction or over-phosphorylation. It has long been discussed whether the tangles are a secondary feature of the development of the disease or part of what causes the nerve cells to die.
Tau phosphorylation research
Professor Lu has identified an enzyme (Pin1), present in all types of cells, that assists in dephosphorylating tau. He and his colleagues have demonstrated a link between a decreased amount of this enzyme and the presence of tangles in post-mortem brain material from people with Alzheimer's disease. In order to further investigate the action of Pin1, Prof Lu developed a mouse strain engineered to not produce the Pin1 enzyme. These mice went on to develop Alzheimer's disease-like symptoms, age related tangles and neuronal cell death.
These results are very exciting because they provide the first mouse model for Alzheimer's disease that represent an under expression of a gene. It also supports the idea that over-phosphorylation of tau is an early event in the development of Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's disease is likely to be a multi-factorial disease with the involvement of more than one gene and disease causing mechanism. More research is needed to work out the mechanism for this particular enzyme's action and to identify therapeutic targets.
This type of basic research on the causes of Alzheimer's disease is very important. It provides hope for people with Alzheimer's disease and their families that in the future it will be possible to treat the disease in earlier stages than is presently possible. http://alzheimers.org.uk/site/scripts/news_article.php?newsID=137
