Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer beta-amyloid precursor protein can be phosphorylated on residues Thr654, Ser655 and Thr668 on its cytoplasmic domain. Proteolytic cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein and release of the amyloid precursor protein ectodomain into the medium of cultured cells can be activated by phorbol esters which stimulate protein kinase C. In the present study, using mutated amyloid precursor protein, we show that...
