Abstract excerpt
Consecutive cleavages of amyloid precursor protein (APP) generate APP intracellular domain (AICD). Its cellular function is still unclear. In this study, we investigated the functional role of AICD in cellular Ca(2+) homeostasis. We could confirm previous observations that endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) stores contain less calcium in cells with reduced APP gamma-secretase cleavage products, increased AICD...
