Abstract
p75NTR, a neurotrophin receptor is found to be involved in amyloid beta pathology and tau hyperphosphorylation in patients and animal model with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the mechanism on how p75NTR is involved in tau phosphorylation remains unclear. The extracellular domain (ECD) of p75NTR was found to block amyloid beta toxicity and attenuate tau hyperphosphorylation. The ligand-binding region in the extracellular domain of p75NTR was knocked out in pR5 (P301L) mice model to determine its function in tau hyperphosphorylation.
