Background
Alternative splicing of exon 10 results in the expression of two groups of tau; three-repeat and four-repeat tau. Isoforms 2, 4, and 5 express three microtubule binding repeat domains (tau 3R) while isoforms 6, 7, and 8 express four microtubule binding repeat domains (tau 4R) (4). The localization of tau 3R and tau 4R in cells can be expressed differently in mild or pathological conditions, including tau 3R in Pick's disease (PiD) and corticobasal degeneration (CBD), while in Alzheimer's disease equally expresses both tau 3R and tau 4R (5,6). The repeat-dependent tau has a different pattern of phosphorylation in different diseases, and also has the ability and patterns of aggregation (7-9).
