APBB2 Proteins and Enzymes

Proteolytic cleavage of the Amyloid protein precursor (APP) gives rise to the beta-Amyloid and Amyloid A4 proteins, which are present in human platelets. Amyloid deposition is associated with type II diabetes, Down's syndrome and a variety of neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease. The Amyloid precursor protein (APP) undergoes alternative splicing, resulting in several isoforms. Proteolytic cleavage of APP leads to the formation of the 4 kDa Amyloid ®/A4 protein. This ...
