While several N and C-terminally truncated Tau species are observed in AD brains, only a limited number of specific Tau cleavage sites, after residues Asp13, Asp25, Asn368, Glu391 and Asp421, have been identified so far in situ. The species generated by these cleavages are found in neurofibrillary tangles, and their occurrence is correlated with the severity of the disease.
