HSPGs are ubiquitously expressed in many cell types including neurons, and have been previously associated with dense core plaques, cerebrovascular amyloid, and NFT formation (van Horssen et al., 2001) PubMed:28420982

Consistently, HSPGs have been implicated in amyloid as well as tau fibril formation in vitro, presumably facilitated by anionic moieties PubMed:28420982

However, regardless of the multiple “sizes” of tau aggregates that interact with the cell surface via HSPGs, it is likely that an assembly of at least three tau molecules is required to initiate endocytosis via HSPGs (Mirbaha et al., 2015) PubMed:28420982
In other words, the HSPGs serve as a receptor for the cellular uptake of tau, a critical step similar to prion-like propagation PubMed:28420982
