		Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/parkinsonism-dementia complex of the Kii peninsula (Kii ALS/PDC) is a neurodegenerative disorder endemic to natives in the southern coast area of the Kii peninsula of Japan.
		To elucidate the biochemical properties of hyperphosphorylated tau protein, the major component of the NFTs, we examined Kii ALS/PDC brains by immunoblotting and immunohistochemical analysis using well-characterized anti-tau antibodies specific to phosphorylation-dependent or -independent epitopes.
		The biochemical properties of its phosphorylated tau protein and the ultrastructural characteristics of the NFTs of Kii ALS/PDC are very similar, if not identical, to PHF tau in AD, although they are different taupopathies.
