Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Reduces Amyloidogenic Processing through Control of SORLA Gene Expression
9 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
Sorting protein-related receptor with A-type repeats (SORLA) is a major risk factor in cellular processes leading to Alzheimer's disease (AD). It acts as sorting receptor for the amyloid precursor protein (APP) that regulates intracellular trafficking and processing into amyloidogenic-beta peptides (A beta). Overexpression of SORLA in neurons reduces while inactivation of gene expression (as in knock-out mouse...
