Repeated amino acid sequences in proteins are widely found, and the glycine–serine–alanine repeat is an element with a general propensity to form β‐sheet aggregates as found in key pathological factors, in several neurodegenerative diseases. Such properties of this repeat may guide development of disease‐modifying therapies for neurodegenerative disease. However, details of its role and underlying mechanism(s) remain largely unknown.
