Increased Cystatin C in Astrocytes of Transgenic Mice Expressing the K670N-M671L Mutation of the Amyloid Precursor Protein and Deposition in Brain Amyloid Plaques
Cystatin C is an essential secretory cofactor for neurogenesis with potent protease inhibitor activities. Polymorphisms of cystatin C are genetically associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD), and the L68Q mutation causes hereditary cerebral hemorrhage with amyloidosis of the Icelandic type, in...
