Partial loss of CALM function reduces Aβ42 production and amyloid deposition in vivo.

Abstract excerpt

Aberrant production, clearance and deposition of amyloid-β protein (Aβ) in the human brain have been implicated in the aetiology of Alzheimer disease (AD). γ-Secretase is the enzyme responsible for generating various Aβ species, such as Aβ40 and toxic Aβ42. Recently, genome-wide association studies in late-onset AD patients have identified the endocytosis-related phosphatidylinositol-binding clathrin assembly...
