Abstract excerpt
The neuronal adaptor X11alpha interacts with the conserved -GYENPTY- sequence in the C-terminus of amyloid precursor protein (APP) or its Swedish mutation (APPswe) to inhibit Abeta40 and Abeta42 secretion. We hypothesized that the -YENP- motif essential for APP endocytosis is also essential for X11alpha-mediated effects on APP trafficking and metabolism, and that X11alpha modulates APP metabolism in both...
