Overexpression of tau downregulated the mRNA levels of Kv channels and improved proliferation in N2A cells.

Microtubule binding protein tau has a crucial function in promoting the assembly and stabilization of microtubule. Besides tuning the action potentials, voltage-gated K+ channels (Kv) are important for cell proliferation and appear to play a role in the development of cancer. However, little is know...
