Abstract excerpt
One of the cardinal neuropathological findings in brains from Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients is the occurrence of amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta) deposits. The gamma-secretase-mediated intramembrane proteolysis event generating Abeta also results in the release of the APP intracellular domain (AICD), which may mediate nuclear signaling. It was recently shown that AICD starts at a position distal to the site...
