Abstract excerpt
beta-Site APP cleavage enzyme 1 (BACE1) is the beta-secretase responsible for generating amyloid-beta (A beta) peptides in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Previous studies suggest that activation of protein kinase C (PKC) modulates the beta-secretase-mediated cleavage of APP and reduces the production of A beta. The mechanism of PKC-mediated modulation of beta-secretase activity, however, remains elusive. We report...
