Amyloid Precursor Protein and Alzheimer's Disease. [PDF]

open access: yesInt J Mol Sci, 2023
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders associated with age or inherited mutations. It is characterized by severe dementia in the late stages that affect memory, cognitive functions, and daily life overall.

The amyloid precursor protein: beyond amyloid

open access: yesMolecular Neurodegeneration, 2006
The amyloid precursor protein (APP) takes a central position in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis: APP processing generates the β-amyloid (Aβ) peptides, which are deposited as the amyloid plaques in brains of AD individuals; Point mutations and ...

Accelerated amyloid deposition, neurofibrillary degeneration and neuronal loss in double mutant APP/tau transgenic mice [PDF]

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2005
Even though the idea that amyloid β peptide accumulation is the primary event in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease has become the leading hypothesis, the causal link between aberrant amyloid precursor protein processing and tau alterations in this ...

Herpes simplex virus interferes with amyloid precursor protein processing [PDF]

open access: gold, 2005
Background The early events underlying Alzheimer's disease (AD) remain uncertain, although environmental factors may be involved. Work in this laboratory has shown that the combination of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) in brain and carriage of the

The orphan drug dichloroacetate reduces amyloid beta-peptide production whilst promoting non-amyloidogenic proteolysis of the amyloid precursor protein.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
The amyloid cascade hypothesis proposes that excessive accumulation of amyloid beta-peptides is the initiating event in Alzheimer's disease. These neurotoxic peptides are generated from the amyloid precursor protein via sequential cleavage by β- and γ ...

Molecular Characteristics of Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) and Its Effects in Cancer

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
Amyloid precursor protein (APP) is a type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein, and its homologs amyloid precursor-like protein 1 (APLP1) and amyloid precursor-like protein 2 (APLP2) are highly conserved in mammals.

Altered processing of amyloid precursor protein in cells undergoing apoptosis. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Altered proteolysis of amyloid precursor protein is an important determinant of pathology development in Alzheimer's disease. Here, we describe the detection of two novel fragments of amyloid precursor protein in H4 neuroglioma cells undergoing apoptosis.

Secretases Related to Amyloid Precursor Protein Processing

open access: yesMembranes, 2021
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disease whose prevalence increases with age. An increasing number of findings suggest that abnormalities in the metabolism of amyloid precursor protein (APP), a single transmembrane aspartic protein ...
