Differential Regulation of Amyloid Precursor Protein/Presenilin 1 Interaction during Ab40/42 Production Detected Using Fusion Constructs
Beta amyloid peptides (Aβ) play a key role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease (AD). Presenilins (PS) function as the catalytic subunits of γ-secretase, the enzyme that releases Aβ from ectodomain cleaved amyloid precursor protein (APP) by intramembrane proteolysis. Familial Alzheimer disease (...
