Abstract excerpt
The 4-kDa beta-amyloid peptide (Abeta), a principal component of parenchymal amyloid deposits in Alzheimer's disease, is derived from amyloid precursor proteins (APP). To identify potential intracellular compartments involved in Abeta production, we expressed human APP-695 (APPwt) and APP-695 har...
