Overexpression of Rab11 or constitutively active Rab11 does not affect sAPPalpha and Abeta secretions by wild-type and Swedish mutated betaAPP-expressing HEK293 cells.

Abstract excerpt

Presenilins 1 and 2 are two homologous proteins which, when mutated, appear responsible for most of the early-onset familial forms of Alzheimer's disease. Among various functional aspects, presenilins appear to behave as chaperoning partners of a series of proteins including the beta-amyloid precursor protein. Recently, presenilins were shown to interact with Rab11, a GTPase involved in intracellular transport....
