Abstract Tau proteins are important in stabilizing microtubules by electrostatic attraction. Tau proteins are expressed in the neurons of adults, ranging from 352 to 441 amino acids in length. By hyper phosphorylation, tau proteins disassemble from microtubules and self-aggregate. It can be accumulated, resulting Nero Fibrillary Tangle (NFT) in the human brain. This NFT is the main cause of Alzheimer disease by interrupting neurons interaction. Detection of Tau tangle is essential in understanding and detecting Alzheimer disease.
