Abstract excerpt
Degeneration of neurons in Alzheimer's disease is mediated by beta-amyloid peptide by diverse mechanisms, which include a putative apoptotic component stimulated by unidentified signaling events. This report describes a novel beta-amyloid peptide-binding protein (denoted BBP) containing a G protein-coupling module. BBP is one member of a family of three proteins containing this conserved structure. The BBP...
