Intracellular trafficking of the amyloid β-protein precursor (APP) regulated by novel function of X11-like.
BACKGROUND: Amyloid β (Aβ), a causative peptide of Alzheimer's disease, is generated by intracellular metabolism of amyloid β-protein precursor (APP). In general, mature APP (mAPP, N- and O-glycosylated form) is subject to successive cleavages by α- or β-, and γ-secretases in the late protein s...
