Independent Generation of Amyloid-β via Novel <i>APP</i> Transcripts
2025-05-14
Abstract excerpt
The amyloid precursor protein ( APP ) is processed by multiple enzymes to generate biologically active peptides, including amyloid-β (Aβ), which aggregates to form the hallmark pathology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Aβ is produced through an initial β-secretase cleavage of APP, generating a 99-amino acid C-terminal fragment (APP-C99). Subsequent cleavage of APP-C99 by γ-secretase produces Aβ peptides of varying l...
