Abstract excerpt
Amyloid beta peptides (Aβs) are generated from amyloid precursor protein (APP) through multiple cleavage steps mediated by γ-secretase, including endoproteolysis and carboxypeptidase-like trimming. The generation of neurotoxic Aβ42/43 species is enhanced by familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD) mutations within the catalytic subunit of γ-secretase, presenilin 1 (PS1). FAD mutations of PS1 cause partial...
