Soluble forms of tau, particularly oligomeric tau, represent a major pathogenic subset of tau conformations
The microtubule-associated protein tau converts into beta-sheet-rich amyloid conformations, underlying pathology in over 25 related tauopathies .
Tau is a microtubule-associated protein (MAP) that promotes tubulin aggregation into microtubules, stabilizing the neuronal cytoskeleton to assure proper axonal transport, neurite outgrowth, and synaptic plasticity
