Role of tau phosphorylation in formation of tau envelopes

Tau is an intrinsically-disordered microtubule-associated protein important for axonal development and a critical regulator of microtubule functions in axons. Tau activity is controlled by phosphorylation and its deregulation resulting in tau hyperphosphorylation and aggregation has been linked to m...
