Loss of tau and Fyn reduces compensatory effects of MAP2 for tau and reveals a Fyn-independent effect of tau on glutamate-induced Ca2+ response

Microtubule-associated protein tau associates with Src family tyrosine kinase Fyn. A tau-Fyn double knockout (DKO) mouse was generated to investigate the role of the complex. DKO mice resembled Fyn KO in cognitive tasks and resembled tau KO mice in motor tasks and protection from pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures. In Ca2+ response, Fyn... Show more
