Activation of PKR causes amyloid ß-peptide accumulation via de-repression of BACE1 expression.

Activation of PKR causes amyloid ß-peptide accumulation via de-repression of BACE1 expression.

BACE1 is a key enzyme involved in the production of amyloid ß-peptide (Aß) in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains. Normally, its expression is constitutively inhibited due to the presence of the 5'untranslated region (5'UTR) in the BACE1 promoter. BACE1 expression is activated by phosphor...
