Amyloid precursor protein modulates β-catenin degradation
Background The amyloid precursor protein (APP) is genetically associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Elucidating the function of APP should help understand AD pathogenesis and provide insights into therapeutic designs against this devastating ...

A common beta-sheet architecture underlies in vitro and in vivo beta(2)-microglobulin amyloid fibrils [PDF]
Misfolding and aggregation of normally soluble proteins into amyloid fibrils and their deposition and accumulation underlies a variety of clinically significant diseases.

The cellular prion protein (PrPC) has been proposed to play an important role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. In cellular models PrPC inhibited the action of the β-secretase BACE1 on wild type amyloid precursor protein resulting in a ...

Amyloidosis in Alzheimer’s Disease: Pathogeny, Etiology, and Related Therapeutic Directions
The amyloid hypothesis of Alzheimer’s disease has long been the predominant theory, suggesting that Alzheimer’s disease is caused by the accumulation of amyloid beta protein (Aβ) in the brain, leading to neuronal toxicity in the central nervous system ...

Alzheimer's disease and HIV associated dementia related genes: I. location and function. [PDF]
Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common cause of dementia, has few clinical similarities to HIV-1-associated dementia (HAD). However, genes were identified related among these dementias.

FMRP mediates mGluR5-dependent translation of amyloid precursor protein. [PDF]
Amyloid precursor protein (APP) facilitates synapse formation in the developing brain, while beta-amyloid (Abeta) accumulation, which is associated with Alzheimer disease, results in synaptic loss and impaired neurotransmission.

Amyloid precursor protein in pancreatic islets [PDF]
The amyloid precursor protein (APP) has been extensively investigated for its role in the production of amyloid beta (Aβ), a plaque-forming peptide in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Epidemiological evidence suggests type 2 diabetes is a risk factor for AD. The pancreas is an essential regulator of blood glucose levels through the secretion of the hormones ...
