LRP1 modulates APP trafficking along early compartments of the secretory pathway

The amyloid beta peptide (Aβ) is a central player in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. Aβ liberation depends on APP cleavage by β- and γ-secretases. The low density lipoprotein receptor related protein 1 (LRP1) was shown to mediate APP processing at multiple steps. Newly synthesized LRP1 can...
