abstract：:In Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain, microtubule-associated protein tau is abnormally modified by hyperphosphorylation and glycosylation, and is aggregated as neurofibrillary tangles of paired helical filaments. To investigate the role of tau glycosylation in neurofibrillary pathology, we isolated various pools of tau p...
