Abstract excerpt
Constitutive amyloid precursor protein (APP) metabolism results in the generation of soluble APP (APPs) and Abeta peptides, including Abeta40 and Abeta42-the major component of amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease brain. The phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) domain of X11 binds to a peptide containing a YENPTY motif found in the carboxyl terminus of APP. We have cloned the full-length X11 gene now referred to as...
