Abstract excerpt
Production of soluble amyloid peptide precursor (APP) and amyloid peptide (A beta) was measured in CHO cells transfected by the wild-type APP 695 cDNA sequence or by the same sequence carrying missense mutations associated with familial Alzheimer's disease in Sweden. Deletion of the C-terminal domain of the protein corresponding to residues 654 to 695 of APP 695 not only inhibited very significantly the...
