Gene: [17q21/MAPT] microtubule-associated protein tau; Alzheimer disease susceptibility locus x?; frontotemporal dementia, with parkinsonism; [MTBT1 A68 ]


COM

[1] A Tau-1-like sequence was revealed on the short arm of Chr 6 (GEM:06p21/MAPTL) by chromosomal in situ hybridization. It was suggested that the mentioned sequence is a pseudogene since only one Tau-1 functional gene has previously been revealed in human genome. On the other hand, four or five different tau peptides have been discovered in biochemical studies.
[2] Some researchers suggest that altered Tau-peptides are possibly responsible for neurofibrillar degenerations in Alzheimer disease (see, for example, Flament-1989, Alonso-1996)."

PRO

The probe p9TAU (Goedert-1988; Goedert-1989) contains a 2.9 kb cDNA fragment cloned at the EcoRI site in a pBR322 plasmid; this probe identifies a 6 kb mRNA in human fetal brain tissue."
