Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most common forms of neurodegenerative disease. Amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) is the most crucial molecule related to the pathological development of AD. Amyloid-β protein precursor (AβPP) is one of AβPP family members with conserved type I transmembrane. The genetic mutations of AβPP and the abnormity of its post-transcription and proteolytic processing contribute to the elevation...
