Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's beta-secretase (BACE1) cleaves amyloid precursor protein to produce amyloid beta-peptide, which is a crucial initiation process of the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. We previously found that BACE1 also cleaves a membrane-bound sialyltransferase (ST6Gal I). Here we report that, w...
