Localization of a fibrillar amyloid beta-protein binding domain on its precursor.

Abstract excerpt

Deposition of fibrillar amyloid-beta protein (Abeta) in senile plaques and in the walls of cerebral blood vessels is a key pathological feature of Alzheimer's disease and certain related disorders. Fibrillar Abeta deposition is intimately associated with neuronal and cerebrovascular cell death both in vivo and in vitro. Similarly, accumulation of the Abeta protein precursor (AbetaPP) is also observed at sites of...
