In the human brain, tau can be cleaved behind Thr123, generating an N‑terminally truncated, tau124–441 fragment. This fragment exhibits stronger affinity for microtubules than does full-length tau, presumably because the removal of the negatively charged N‑terminal domain enhances its binding to the negative surface of microtubules
