beta-Amyloid efflux mediated by p-glycoprotein.

Abstract excerpt

A large body of evidence suggests that an increase in the brain beta-amyloid (Abeta) burden contributes to the etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Much is now known about the intracellular processes regulating the production of Abeta, however, less is known regarding its secretion from cells. We now report that p-glycoprotein (p-gp), an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter, is an Abeta efflux pump....
