Solution studies and structural model of the extracellular domain of the human amyloid precursor protein.
The amyloid precursor protein (APP) is the precursor of the beta-amyloid peptide (Abeta), which is centrally related to the genesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In addition, APP has been suggested to mediate and/or participate in events that lead to neuronal degeneration in AD. Despite the fact that various aspects of the cell biology of APP have been investigated, little information on the str...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Iron Oxide Nanoparticle Effects on Amyloid Precursor Protein Processing in Hippocampal Cells
Introduction: Iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe2O3-NPs) are small magnetic particles that widely used in different aspects of biology and medicine in modern life. Fe2O3-NP accumulated in the living cells due to absence of active system to excrete the iron ions so damages cellular organelles by highly reactivity. Method: Herein cytotoxic effects of Fe2O3-NP with 50 nm size were investigated on prima...
متن کاملAmyloid Precursor Protein and Amyloid b Peptide in Human Platelets
The main component of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) senile plaques is amyloid-b peptide (Ab), a proteolytic fragment of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Platelets contain both APP and Ab and may contribute to the perivascular amyloid deposition seen in AD. However, no data are available concerning the biochemical mechanism(s) involved in their formation and release by these cells. We found that ...
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...
