Abstract excerpt
Amyloid precursor protein (APP) is the precursor of the beta-amyloid peptide which is associated with Alzheimer's disease. The physiological function of APP is not well understood. We have established model system for the analysis of APP function in Drosophila. In neural cells, overexpressed human APP was transported to the synaptic terminal in a manner similar to its localization in human neurons, which...
