The resveratrol trimer miyabenol C inhibits β-secretase activity and β-amyloid generation.
Accumulation and deposition of amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) in the brain is a primary cause of the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Aβ is generated from amyloid-β precursor protein (APP) through sequential cleavages first by β-secretase and then by γ ...

LRP1 Has a Predominant Role in Production over Clearance of Aβ in a Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease. [PDF]
The low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-1 (LRP1) has a dual role in the metabolism of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). In cellular models, LRP1 enhances amyloid-β (Aβ) generation via APP internalization and thus its amyloidogenic ...

β‐secretase‐cleaved amyloid precursor protein in Alzheimer brain: a morphologic study [PDF]
Abstractβ‐amyloid (Aβ) is the main constituent of senile plaques seen in Alzheimer's disease. Aβ is derived from the amyloid precursor protein (APP) via proteolytic cleavage by proteases β‐ and β‐secretase. In this study, we examined content and localization of β‐secretase‐cleaved APP (β‐sAPP) in brain tissue sections from the frontal, temporal and ...

Presenilin 2 is the predominant γ-secretase in microglia and modulates cytokine release. [PDF]
Presenilin 1 (PS1) and Presenilin 2 (PS2) are the enzymatic component of the γ-secretase complex that cleaves amyloid precursor protein (APP) to release amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide.

Signal peptide peptidases and gamma-secretase: Cousins of the same protease family? [PDF]
Signal peptide peptidase (SPIP) is an unusual aspartyl protease, which mediates clearance of signal peptides by proteolysis within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

-Secretase-Regulated Signaling Mechanisms: Notch and Amyloid Precursor Protein [PDF]
In Drosophila, Notch mutations lost a lateral signaling ability and produced a neurogenic phenotype, where cells destined to become epidermis switch fate and give rise to neural tissue (Artavanis-Tsakonas et al. 1995; Lewis 1998). Therefore, when Notch signaling was disrupted, too many neurons were generated.

Cellular prion protein regulates β-secretase cleavage of the Alzheimer's amyloid precursor protein [PDF]
Proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by β-secretase, β-site APP cleaving enzyme (BACE1), is the initial step in the production of the amyloid β (Aβ) peptide, which is involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.

Regulation of amyloid precursor protein processing by serotonin signaling. [PDF]
Proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by the β- and γ-secretases releases the amyloid-β peptide (Aβ), which deposits in senile plaques and contributes to the etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The α-secretase cleaves APP in the
