Abstract excerpt
We studied the direct role of amyloid beta (Abeta) in regulating capacitive calcium entry (CCE), an important refilling mechanism for depleted intracellular calcium stores. For the first time, we found that Abeta can potentiate CCE. Neural 2a cells stably expressing Swedish mutant APP (APPswe), which can secrete large amounts of Abeta, have stronger CCE than its wild-type controls. Either reducing the Abeta in...
