Roles of amyloid precursor protein and its fragments in regulating neural activity, plasticity and memory

PR Turner, K O'Connor, WP Tate, WC Abraham - Progress in neurobiology, 2003 - Elsevier
Amyloid-β precursor protein (APP) is a membrane-spanning protein with a large
extracellular domain and a much smaller intracellular domain. It is the source of the amyloid …
