## 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 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
We sequenced the entire coding region of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) genes of 11 unrelated patients with Japanese familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD) in order to determine the exact frequency of known APP gene mutations and to search for novel mutations responsible for FAD. Three out of 11 (2
