What is the difference between amyloid beta protein and tau protein?
== == Amyloid beta (AB) protein is produced from the cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP: a transmembrane protein) by beta secretase and gamma secretase. The build up of this intact AB protein leads to formation of amyloid plaques. Tau is a group of microtubule associated proteins which contributes to the assembly and stabilization of microtubules in axons. However, hyperphosphorylation of tau leads to tau aggregation and formation of neurofibrillary tangles (NFT). Intracellular NFT and extracellular amyloid plaques are two pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease.
What is a tau in cellular biology?
Tau is a protein which may be responcible for alziemers; it tangles nerve cells therefore killing brain cells.
What disorder affects the gene for the tau protein in cases of Pick disease?
The gene encodes a scaffold protein that maintains the shape of brain neurons by stabilizing cellular microtubules. Mutations to the tau protein cause it to form clumps and limit its ability to assemble microtubules
Why does tau overexpression and deposits of amyloid beta protein inside and between neurons cause the neurons to die?
