Comparative transcriptome profiling of amyloid precursor protein family members in the adult cortex
24 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The β-amyloid precursor protein (APP) and the related β-amyloid precursor-like proteins (APLPs) undergo complex proteolytic processing giving rise to several fragments. Whereas it is well established that Aβ accumulation is a central trigger for Alzheimer's disease, the physiological role of APP family members and their diverse proteolytic products is still largely unknown. The secreted APPsα...
