Abstract excerpt
Recent studies of cellular amyloid precursor protein (APP) metabolism demonstrate a beta-/gamma-secretase pathway resident to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)/Golgi resulting in intracellular generation of soluble APP (APPsbeta) and Abeta42 peptide. Thus, these intracellular compartments may be key sites of amyloidogenic APP metabolism and Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis. We hypothesized that the ER chaperone...
