Identification and Functional Characterization of the Axolotl ( <i>Ambystoma mexicanum</i> ) Tau Protein

Our microscopy data suggests that tau and β-tubulin III co-localize in axolotl brain tissue. These results will further elucidate our understanding of tau-microtubule interactions in the axolotl, unveil axolotl tau's capacity for aggregation, and position the axolotl as a novel model system in which to investigate how a regenerative organism might respond to an attempt to induce tauopathy.
