Immunopurification and protease inhibitory properties of protease nexin-2/amyloid beta-protein precursor.

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1990
Protease nexin-2 (PN-2) is a protease inhibitor that is synthesized and secreted by a variety of extravascular cells including human fibroblasts. It forms sodium dodecyl sulfate-stable complexes with trypsin, the epidermal growth factor binding protein ...

BACE1 activity impairs neuronal glucose oxidation:rescue by beta-hydroxybutyrate and lipoic acid [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Glucose hypometabolism and impaired mitochondrial function in neurons have been suggested to play early and perhaps causative roles in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. Activity of the aspartic acid protease, beta-site amyloid precursor protein (APP)

Neuregulin-1 Exerts Protective Effects Against Neurotoxicities Induced by C-Terminal Fragments of APP via ErbB4 Receptor

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2012
Neuregulin-1 (NRG1) plays important roles in the development and plasticity of the brain, and it is also reported to have potent neuroprotective properties.

Intracellular pH regulates amyloid precursor protein intracellular domain accumulation

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2007
The amyloid precursor protein (APP) metabolism is central to pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Parenchymal amyloid deposits, a neuropathological hallmark of AD, are composed of amyloid-beta peptides (Abeta).

Axonal amyloid precursor protein and its fragments undergo somatodendritic endocytosis and processing. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Deposition of potentially neurotoxic Aβ fragments derived from amyloid precursor protein (APP) at synapses may be a key contributor to Alzheimer's disease.

Protease nexin-2/amyloid β-protein precursor limits cerebral thrombosis [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2005
The amyloid β-protein precursor (AβPP) is best known as the parent molecule to the amyloid β-peptide that accumulates in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease. Secreted isoforms of AβPP that contain the Kunitz proteinase inhibitor domain are analogous to the previously identified cell-secreted proteinase inhibitor known as ...

The zinc finger protein CTCF binds to the APBbeta domain of the amyloid beta-protein precursor promoter. Evidence for a role in transcriptional activation.

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1997
The promoter of the amyloid beta-protein precursor (APP) gene directs high levels of cell type-specific transcription with 94 base pairs 5' to the main transcriptional start site.

A guide to selecting high-performing antibodies for amyloid-beta precursor protein for use in Western Blot, immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence [version 2; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

open access: yesF1000Research
The amyloid-beta precursor protein is a transmembrane protein expressed in many tissues and highly concentrated in the brain. The protein is of significant interest due to its involvement in the generation of amyloidogenic β-amyloid peptides, prone to ...

CCL2 accelerates microglia-mediated Abeta oligomer formation and progression of neurocognitive dysfunction.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
BackgroundThe linkages between neuroinflammation and Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis are well established. What is not, however, is how specific immune pathways and proteins affect the disease.

Manipulation of lipid rafts in neuronal cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Lipid rafts are specialized plasma membrane micro-domains highly enriched in cholesterol, sphingolipids and glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchored proteins.
