PITRM1 interaction studies with amyloidogenic nonapeptide mutants of familial Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract excerpt

Amyloid β-protein (ABP) is found to be the major cause for the development of neurodegeneration which leads to Alzheimer's. The Aβ nonapeptide segment, QKLVFFAED (amino acids 15-23) is the highly amyloidogenic central region of Aβ. Familial mutation in Aβ increases the aggregation property of the peptide compared to the Native (Wild) amyloid-beta (Aβ) and these mutations fall on the Aβ nonapeptide segment. The...
