Amyloid precursor protein interacts with notch receptors
1 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
The amyloid precursor protein (APP) must fulfill important roles based on its sequence conservation from fly to human. Although multiple functions for APP have been proposed, the best-known role for this protein is as the precursor of Abeta peptide, a neurotoxic 39-43-amino acid peptide crucial to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. To investigate additional roles for APP with an eye toward understanding the...
