Abstract excerpt
Amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta) deposition in brain is important in the development of sporadic Alzheimer's disease (SAD) and Abeta is produced through sequential cleaving of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by beta-secretase and gamma-secrease. Anterior pharynx-defective-1 (APH-1) is an important subunit of the gamma-secretase complex, and its expression level was associated with the activity of gamma-secrease. We...
