Abstract excerpt
The production of neurotoxic amyloid-β peptides (Aβ) is central to the initiation and progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and involves sequential cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by β- and γ-secretases. APP and the secretases are transmembrane proteins and their co-localisation in the same membrane-bound sub-compartment is necessary for APP cleavage. The intracellular trafficking of APP and the...
