Normal Cellular Processing of the β‐Amyloid Precursor Protein Results in the Secretion of the Amyloid β Peptide and Related Molecules<sup>a</sup>
1 Sept 1993
Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the extracellular deposition in the brain and its blood vessels of insoluble aggregates of the amyloid beta peptide (A beta). This peptide is derived from a large integral membrane protein, the beta-amyloid precursor protein (beta APP), by proteolytic processing. The A beta has previously been found only in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease or advanced aging....
