Energy Inhibition Elevates β-Secretase Levels and Activity and Is Potentially Amyloidogenic in APP Transgenic Mice: Possible Early Events in Alzheimer's Disease Pathogenesis
β-Secretase [β-site amyloid precursor protein-cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1)] is the key rate-limiting enzyme for the production of the β-amyloid (Aβ) peptide involved in the pathoge...
Processing of the Amyloid Protein Precursor to Potentially Amyloidogenic Derivatives
The ∼120-kilodalton amyloid β protein precursor (βAPP) is processed into a complex set of 8- to 12-kilodalton carboxyl-terminal derivatives that includes potentially amyloidogen...
Wnt/β-catenin signalling: function, biological mechanisms, and therapeutic opportunities
The Wnt/β-catenin pathway comprises a family of proteins that play critical roles in embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis. The deregulation of Wnt/β-catenin signal...
Amyloid Aggregates, Presenilins, and Alzheimer's Disease
The cooperative action of three proteases is required to process the APP protein (695-770 amino acids) into small β-amyloid peptides (Aβ, 40-42 amino acids). Aβ aggregates are f...
Cleavage of Amyloid β Peptide During Constitutive Processing of Its Precursor
The amyloid β peptide (AβP) is a small fragment of the much larger, broadly distributed amyloid precursor protein (APP). Abundant AβP deposition in the brains of patients with A...
