Abstract excerpt
Abnormal proteolytic processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) is a pathologic feature of Alzheimer's disease. Recent studies have demonstrated that serine/threonine phosphorylation specifically at amino-acid residue Thr668 (APP695 numbering) regulates APP processing. In this study, we investigated the possibility that tyrosine phosphorylation of APP regulates APP processing. A tyrosine kinase inhibitor...
