APP intracellular domain derived from amyloidogenic β- and γ-secretase cleavage regulates neprilysin expression
Alzheimer´s disease (AD) is characterized by an accumulation of Amyloid-β (Aβ), released by sequential proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by β- and γ-secretase. Aβ peptides can aggregate, leading to toxic Aβ oligomers and amyloid plaque formation. Aβ accumulation is not on...
