Abstract excerpt
Amyloid precursor protein (APP), a key protein in pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), is a type I transmembrane protein which can be cleaved by β- and γ-secretase to release the amyloidogenic β-amyloid peptides (Aβ) and the APP intracellular domain (AICD). While Aβ has been widely believed to initiate pathogenic cascades culminating AD, the physiological functions and regulations of AICD remain elusive. In...
