Abstract excerpt
The low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP), which interacts with the Alzheimer disease (AD) beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP), represents an important pathway in AD pathology. LRP-mediated receptor pathways appear to regulate both the production and the clearance of amyloid beta-protein (Abeta), a principal neuropathological product in AD. Several conflicting studies have examined levels of LRP...
