DAPT-Induced Intracellular Accumulations of Longer Amyloid β-Proteins: Further Implications for the Mechanism of Intramembrane Cleavage by γ-Secretase
1 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
Gamma-secretase cleaves the transmembrane domain of beta-amyloid precursor protein at multiple sites. These are referred to as gamma-, zeta-, and epsilon-cleavages. We showed previously that DAPT, a potent dipeptide gamma-secretase inhibitor, caused differential accumulations of longer amyloid beta-proteins (Abetas) (Abeta43 and Abeta46) in CHO cells that are induced to express the beta C-terminal fragment (CTF)....
