Difference between Blood–brain barrier and Tau protein

Blood–brain barrier vs. Tau protein

The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a highly selective semipermeable membrane barrier that separates the circulating blood from the brain and extracellular fluid in the central nervous system (CNS). Tau proteins (or τ proteins, after the Greek letter with that name) are proteins that stabilize microtubules.

Similarities between Blood–brain barrier and Tau protein

Blood–brain barrier and Tau protein have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Alpha-synuclein, Alzheimer's disease, Astrocyte, Central nervous system, Neurodegeneration, Parkinson's disease, Prion, Tauopathy.

Alpha-synuclein

Alpha-synuclein is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the SNCA gene.
