## Abstract The β‐amyloid protein (Aβ) is derived by proteolytic processing of the amyloid protein precursor (APP). Cleavage of APP by β‐secretase generates a C‐terminal fragment (APP‐CTFβ), which is subsequently cleaved by γ‐secretase to produce Aβ. Our previous studies have shown that the proteas
The -amyloid protein precursor (APP) has been extensively studied for its role in amyloid production and the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, little is known about the normal function of APP and its biological interactions. In this Mini-Review, the role of the cytoplasmic domain o
