Frameshift Mutants of β Amyloid Precursor Protein and Ubiquitin-B in Alzheimer's and Down Patients
9 Jan 1998
Abstract excerpt
The cerebral cortex of Alzheimer's and Down syndrome patients is characterized by the presence of protein deposits in neurofibrillary tangles, neuritic plaques, and neuropil threads. These structures were shown to contain forms of beta amyloid precursor protein and ubiquitin-B that are aberrant (+1 proteins) in the carboxyl terminus. The +1 proteins were not found in young control patients, whereas the presence...
