Allele-specific overexpression in astrocytes of an Alzheimer's disease associated alpha-1-antichymotrypsin promoter polymorphism.

Brain research. Molecular brain research - 24 Nov 2004

Ritchie Alistair, Morgan Kevin, Kalsheker Noor

Abstract excerpt

Alpha-1-antichymotrypsin (ACT), a serine proteinase inhibitor is synthesised predominantly in the liver and in other tissues including the brain. ACT is a major component of the senile plaques (SP) characteristic of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Increased production locally in the brain may be associ...
