Physiology and pharmacology of amyloid precursor protein.

Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2022
Amyloid precursor protein (APP) is an evolutionarily conserved transmembrane protein and a well-characterized precursor protein of amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptides, which accumulate in the brains of individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD)-related pathologies. Aβ has been extensively investigated since the amyloid hypothesis in AD was proposed.

Not just amyloid: physiological functions of the amyloid precursor protein family [PDF]

open access: possibleNature Reviews Neuroscience, 2017
Amyloid precursor protein (APP) gives rise to the amyloid-β peptide and thus has a key role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease. By contrast, the physiological functions of APP and the closely related APP-like proteins (APLPs) remain less well understood.

Function of amyloid and amyloid protein precursor

Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery, 1992
A short review is given of the functions of amyloid (beta/A4) and its precursor protein (APP). The possible relationship between amyloid deposition and dementia is discussed.

The Functions of Mammalian Amyloid Precursor Protein and Related Amyloid Precursor-Like Proteins

Neurodegenerative Diseases, 2006
It is well established that proteolytic processing of the β-amyloid precursor protein (APP) generates β-amyloid which plays a central role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease. In contrast, the physiological role of APP and the question of whether a loss of these functions contributes to Alzheimer’s disease are still unclear. For a long time, the

The pharmacology of amyloid precursor protein processing [PDF]

open access: possibleExperimental Gerontology, 2003
The possibility to understand the causes and treat the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease patients is still a great challenge. The triggering events leading to the selective neurodegeneration observed in Alzheimer's brains are not completely understood.

Recognition of the Amyloid Precursor Protein by Human gamma-secretase

, 2019
Cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by the intramembrane protease γ-secretase is linked to Alzheimer's disease (AD). We report an atomic structure of human γ-secretase in complex with a transmembrane (TM) APP fragment at 2.6-angstrom resolution ...
