Abstract excerpt
Release of amyloid beta (Abeta) from the amyloid precursor protein (APP) requires cleavages by beta- and gamma-secretases and plays a crucial role in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. Missense mutations in the APP gene causing familial AD are clustered around the beta-, alpha- and particular...
