medicine | human isoform HTRA1 degrades aggregated and fibrillar tau, a protein that is critically involved in various neurological disorders. Neuronal cells and patient brains accumulate less tau, neurofibrillary tangles, and neuritic plaques, respectively, when HTRA1 is expressed at elevated levels. HTRA1 mRNA and HTRA1 activity are up-regulated in response to elevated tau concentrations | Homo sapiens |
