The human β-amyloid precursor protein: biomolecular and epigenetic aspects
Beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP) is a membrane-spanning protein with a large extracellular domain and a much smaller intracellular domain. APP plays a central role in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis: APP processing generates β-amyloid (Aβ) peptides, which are deposited as amyloid plaques i...
