Enhancement of phospholipase A2 activation by phosphatidic acid endogenously formed through phospholipase D action in rat peritoneal mast cell.

abstract：:To investigate the importance of the seventh residue of the second and third repeat fragments (R2 and R3 peptides) of the microtubule-binding domain (MBD) for tau filamentous assembly, the residues Lys and Pro were substituted (R2-K7P and R3-P7K). The filament formations of the R2 and R3 peptides were almost lost due ...
