Abstract excerpt
The Aβ-precursor protein (APP) intracellular domain is highly conserved and contains many potentially important residues, in particular the (682)YENPTY(687) motif. To dissect the functions of this sequence in vivo, we created an APP knock-in allele mutating Tyr(682) to Gly (Y682G). Crossing this allele to APP-like protein 2 (APLP2) knock-out background showed that mutation of Tyr(682) results in postnatal...
