Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study is to elucidate whether a molecular co-chaperone protein FK506 binding protein 5 (FKBP5) could be an ‘accelerator of intracellular aggregation’ in neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, I found that over expression of FKBP5 in Alzheimer’s disease model mouse show increase expression levels, highly phosphorylation and miss-localization of tau, a microtubule associated protein. On the other hand, I could not detect intracellular aggregation of tau. These results suggest that FKBP5 would not accelerate intracellular aggregation but modify Alzheimer’s disease pathology.
