  • β-arrestin1 promotes tauopathy by transducing GPCR signaling, disrupting microtubules and autophagy

    G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have been shown to play integral roles in Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis However, it is unclear how diverse GPCRs similarly affect Aβ and tau pathogenesis. GPCRs share a common mechanism of action via the β-arrestin scaffolding signaling complexes, which not only serve to desensitize GPCRs by internalization, but also mediate multiple downstream signaling events As signaling via the GPCRs, β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR), and metabotropic glutamate receptor 2 (mGluR2
