Lysine-Directed Post-translational Modifications of Tau Protein in Alzheimer's Disease and Related Tauopathies
Tau is a microtubule-associated protein responsible mainly for stabilizing the neuronal microtubule network in the brain. Under normal conditions, tau is highly soluble and adopts an “unfolded” conformation. However, it undergoes conformational changes resulting in a less soluble form with weakened...
