Abstract excerpt
A mutant amyloid precursor protein (APP/RK) designed to interfere with processing by alpha-secretase caused a severe phenotype in transgenic mice, including behavioural abnormalities, i.e. neophobia, aggression, hypersensitivity to kainic acid, hyposensitivity to N-methyl-D-aspartate, and premature death [Moechars D. et al. (1996) Eur. molec. Biol. Org. J. 15, 1265-1274]. We now demonstrated that the APP/RK...
