Amyloid beta peptide (A beta) is released into the media of a variety of cells in culture during normal metabolism. The discovery of several missense mutations within or flanking the A beta region of the beta amyloid precursor protein (beta APP) in familial Alzheimer's disease provides strong evidence for a role of altered processing of beta APP in the pathogenesis of this disorder. The cellular mechanisms that...
