Amyloid โค-protein (Aโค), the major component of plaques in Alzheimer's disease, is a small hydrophobic protein that is carried on apolipoprotein E (ApoE)-and ApoJ-containing lipoprotein particles in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Microglia, the scavenger cells of the CNS, take up and degrade A

## 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
Ab peptides are the major components of amyloid deposits in Alzheimer's disease. The presence of Nterminally truncated Ab variants in amyloid may be a critical factor in Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis. These Ab variants are less soluble and more amyloidogenic than full-length Ab, making their sepa
