Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have demonstrated that the ERK MAPK acts as a negative regulator of gamma-secretase. Here, we demonstrate that the activation of ERK MAPK pathway by sodium selenite can inhibit endogenous gamma-secretase activity. Consistently, the gamma-secretase-mediated production of amyloid-b...
