Amyloid precursor protein (APP) and the biology of proteolytic processing: relevance to Alzheimer’s disease
Abstract
The processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) generates amyloid-beta (Abeta) peptides 1-40 and 1-42. The latter is neurotoxic and its accumulation results in amyloid fibril formation and the generation of senile plaques, the hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Whilst there has been considerable progress made in understanding the generation of Abeta by alpha-, beta- and gamma-secretase activity on APP, recently enzymes involved in the degradation of Abeta have been identified including neprilysin and insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE). We review the pathways involved in proteolytic processing of APP and discuss the potential implications of aberrant proteolysis on neurodegeneration. It is conceivable that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the regulatory regions of genes in these proteolytic cascades, which alter their expression, could contribute to some of the age-related changes seen in AD.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
