The production of P-amyloid precursor protein (PAPP) in cultured oligodendrocytes isolated from adult bovine brains was examined by immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting. Immunostaining of oligodendrocytes with antibodies specific for the carboxy terminus of p APP demonstrated positive immunoreact
Progressive cerebral deposition of β€-amyloid peptide either in blood vessels or around neurites is one of the most important features of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The β€-peptide, known as Aβ€ or A4, is produced by proteolytic cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Two APP processing pathways
## Abstract Proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein by Ξ² βand Ξ³βsecretases results in the production of Alzheimer's disease (AD) AΞ² amyloid peptides. Modulation of secretase activity is being investigated as a potential therapeutic approach. Recent studies with human brain have reve
