Abstract excerpt
Amyloid precursor protein (APP) is metabolised to produce A beta, a peptide found aggregated in Alzheimer's disease neuritic plaques. APP is a member of a multigene protein family which includes amyloid precursor-like protein 2 (APLP2). Since A beta accumulation can be triggered by factors acting up- or downstream of APP processing, we investigated whether APP mRNA expression was altered in Alzheimer's disease...
