A Role for P-Glycoprotein in Clearance of Alzheimer Amyloid ? -Peptide from the Brain
15 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
Most data indicates that Alzheimer's disease involves an accumulation of amyloid β - peptide (Aβ) in the CNS and that sporadic cases arise from a deficiency in Aβ clearance. Considerable attention has been given to mechanisms by which Aβ might be transported between the brain and blood, and evidence suggests that p-glycoprotein, also known as the multi-drug resistance (MDR) protein (product of the ABCB1 gene),...
