Isoforms of the tau protein. The tau protein gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 17, which generates six isoforms by alternative processing. The longest isoform in the CNS is 441 amino acids and the shortest is 352 amino acids. The length depends on the presence/absence of inserts in the amino terminal portion and the presence of three or four repeated domains.
