Alterations of Zinc Transporter Proteins ZnT‐1, ZnT‐4 and ZnT‐6 in Preclinical Alzheimer's Disease Brain
9 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
Our previous studies demonstrate alterations of zinc (Zn) transporter proteins ZnT-1, ZnT-4 and ZnT-6 in vulnerable brain regions of subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and early and late stage Alzheimer's disease (AD), suggesting disruptions of Zn homeostasis may play a role in the pathogenesis of AD. A preclinical stage of AD (PCAD) has been described in which subjects show no overt clinical...
