متن کاملAmyloid Precursor Protein
Intracellular trafficking and proteolytic processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) have been the focus of numerous investigations over the past two decades. APP is the precursor to the amyloid -protein (A ), the 38–43-amino acid residue peptide that is at the heart of the amyloid cascade hypothesis of Alzheimer disease (AD). Tremendous progress has been made since the initial identificatio...
متن کاملBinding of F-spondin to amyloid- precursor protein: A candidate amyloid- precursor protein ligand that modulates amyloid- precursor protein cleavage
Amyloidprecursor protein (APP), a type I membrane protein, is physiologically processed by or -secretases that cleave APP N-terminal to the transmembrane region. Extracellular -cleavage of APP generates a large secreted N-terminal fragment, and a smaller cellular C-terminal fragment. Subsequent -secretase cleavage in the transmembrane region of the C-terminal fragment induces secretion of small...
متن کاملNovel Amyloid Precursor Protein Gene
Amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s disease contain 0-amyloid, encoded by portions of exons 16 and 17 of the amyloid precursor protein. The specific association of rare amyloid precursor protein mutations with some kindreds with early-onset familial Alzheimer’s disease suggests that specific abnormalities in amyloid precursor protein may contribute to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease. Until n...
متن کاملNeuroprotective secreted amyloid precursor protein acts by disrupting amyloid precursor protein dimers.
The amyloid precursor protein (APP) is implied both in cell growth and differentiation and in neurodegenerative processes in Alzheimer disease. Regulated proteolysis of APP generates biologically active fragments such as the neuroprotective secreted ectodomain sAPPalpha and the neurotoxic beta-amyloid peptide. Furthermore, it has been suggested that the intact transmembrane APP plays a signalin...
