The environmental agent aluminium has been extensively investigated for a potential role in the aetiology of Alzheimer's disease. Despite many investigations there is at present no definite proof for any involvement. If aluminium is involved it is possible that its action is mediated through interac

Altered proteolysis of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) may play an important role in Alzheimer disease (AD). To better understand the role of mutant APP in the pathogenesis of the disease, we stably overexpressed the mutant APP717F approximately twofold vs. the endogenous wild-type gene in sever
## Abstract The precise function of APP (Alzheimer's amyloid precursor protein) remains to be fully elucidated, but various lines of evidence suggest that it may be involved in cell adhesion processes. Because APP is a transmembrane glycoprotein, variations in its expression level may have direct b
## Abstract The amyloid precursor protein (APP) is cleaved enzymatically by nonamyloidogenic and amyloidogenic pathways. α‐Secretase (α‐secretase), cleaves APP within the β‐amyloid (Aβ) sequence, resulting in the release of a secreted fragment of APP (αAPPs) and precluding Aβ generation. In this st
