Tau is a protein found in neurons, where it works to stabilize the shape and function of the cell. As part of normal function, proteins in the body fold, unfold and refold into different shapes in order to perform specific functions, and when they are no longer needed, they are broken down and recycled by the cell.
No. To break a protein down into its amino acids you will need enzymes. Enzymes are biological molecules (proteins) that act as catalysts and help complex reactions occur everywhere in life. Letâs say you ate a piece of meat. Proteases would go to work and help break down the peptide bonds between the amino acids.
