The Neuronal Adaptor Protein X11α Reduces Aβ Levels in the Brains of Alzheimer's APPswe Tg2576 Transgenic Mice
1 Nov 2003
Abstract excerpt
Increased production and deposition of the 40-42-amino acid beta-amyloid peptide (Abeta) is believed to be central to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Abeta is derived from the amyloid precursor protein (APP), but the mechanisms that regulate APP processing to produce Abeta are not fully understood. X11alpha (also known as munc-18-interacting protein-1 (Mint1)) is a neuronal adaptor protein that binds APP...
