Amyloid precursor protein and mitochondria. [PDF]
Curr Opin Neurobiol, 2023 Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) processing to amyloid beta (Aβ) is a major hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The amyloid cascade hypothesis postulates that Aβ accumulation and aggregation causes AD, however many therapeutics targeting Aβ have failed recently. Decades of research describe metabolic deficits in AD.

The amyloid precursor protein: beyond amyloid
Molecular 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]
Neurobiology 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 ...

The Amyloid Precursor Protein Controls PIKfyve Function. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 While the Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) plays a central role in Alzheimer's disease, its cellular function still remains largely unclear. It was our goal to establish APP function which will provide insights into APP's implication in Alzheimer's ...

Secretases Related to Amyloid Precursor Protein Processing [PDF]
Membranes, 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 ...

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

PLoS 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 ...

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

Altered expression of Alzheimer's disease-related proteins in male hypogonadal mice [PDF]
, 2012 Age-related depletion of estrogens and androgens is associated with an increase in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain pathology and diminished cognitive function. Here we investigated AD-associated molecular and cellular changes in brains of aged hypogonadal
