In addition to amyloid-β peptide, which other protein is misfolded in the brains of Alzheimer’s disease patients?(a) Alpha(b) Zau(c) Theta(d) Tau |
|
Answer» The correct choice is (d) Tau To explain I would say: The tau-protein functions as a part of nerve cell’s cytoskeleton. In patients with Alzheimer’s this protein develops into bundles of tangle cellular filaments called neurofibrillary tangles (or NFTs) as a result of misfolding. |
