Popis: | Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the intracranial accumulation of the 4 kDa amyloid-β peptide (Aβ), following proteolysis of a ∼700-amino acid, integral membrane precursor, the Alzheimer amyloid precursor protein (APP). The best evidence causally linking APP to AD has been provided by the discovery of mutations within the APP coding sequence that segregate with disease phenotypes in autosomal dominant forms of familial AD (FAD). Though FAD is rare ( |
