22. α-Secretase processing of the Alzheimer amyloid-β precursor protein and its homolog APLP2
Abstract : The amyloid-β precursor protein (APP) has been widely studied due to its role in Alzheimer´s disease (AD). When APP is sequentially cleaved by β- and γ-secretase, amyloid-β (Aβ) is formed. Aβ is prone to aggregate and is toxic to neurons. READ MORE
