This protein is found in the microtubules of nerve cells, and its role is to help stabilise them. The role of microtubules is to transport cellular components. In Alzheimer's disease, tau protein becomes hyperphosphorylated and then accumulates into neurofibrillary tangles that disrupt the microtubules. In frontal lobe dementias the balance of different forms of tau protein change, interfering with transportation in the cells.
