Abstract excerpt
Aberrant proteolytic processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) can alter amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide trafficking, with recent studies implicating MUC1-type O-glycosylation as a modulatory factor. In this study, we synthesized native and Swedish-mutated (Lys670Asn/Met671Leu) APP glycopeptides spanning the Aβ(1-23) region, including the β- and α-secretase cleavage sites, and introduced O-GalNAc moieties at Thr663,...
