== == Amyloid beta (AB) protein is produced from the cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP: a transmembrane protein) by beta secretase and gamma secretase. The build up of this intact AB protein leads to formation of amyloid plaques. Tau is a group of microtubule associated proteins which contributes to the assembly and stabilization of microtubules in axons. However, hyperphosphorylation of tau leads to tau aggregation and formation of neurofibrillary tangles (NFT). Intracellular NFT and extracellular amyloid plaques are two pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease.

The gene encodes a scaffold protein that maintains the shape of brain neurons by stabilizing cellular microtubules. Mutations to the tau protein cause it to form clumps and limit its ability to assemble microtubules

Evocamd is a brand name for the drug flortaucipir, which is a radiotracer used in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. It is specifically designed to bind to tau protein aggregates in the brain, which are associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. By highlighting these tau deposits, Evocamd aids in the diagnosis and understanding of tau-related pathologies. Its use in clinical settings can help differentiate Alzheimer's disease from other types of dementia.
