Abstract excerpt
It has been shown that amyloid β (Aβ) secretion regulates cholesterol efflux from cells and that the E693Δ (Osaka) mutation in amyloid precursor protein (APP) promotes intracellular accumulation of Aβ and thus reduces its secretion. These findings led us to speculate that APP with the Osaka mutation (APPOSK ) might have a defect in cholesterol efflux and thus cause cellular malfunction. We therefore examined the...
