Enhanced Release of Amyloid -Protein from Codon 670/671 Swedish Mutant -Amyloid Precursor Protein Occurs in Both Secretory and Endocytic Pathways
1 Apr 1996
Abstract excerpt
The mutation at codons 670/671 of beta-amyloid precursor protein (betaPP) dramatically elevates amyloid beta-protein (Abeta) production. Since increased Abeta may be responsible for the disease phenotype identified from a Swedish kindred with familial Alzheimer's disease, evaluation of the cellular mechanism(s) responsible for the enhanced Abeta release may suggest potential therapies for Alzheimer's disease. In...
