Numerous proteins, including cytokines and chemokines, enzymes and enzyme inhibitors, extracellular matrix proteins, and membrane receptors, bind heparin. Although they are …
Y Zhang, R Thompson, H Zhang, H Xu - Molecular brain, 2011 - Springer
An important pathological feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the presence of extracellular senile plaques in the brain. Senile plaques are composed of aggregations of …
A Haapasalo, DM Kovacs - Journal of Alzheimer's disease, 2011 - content.iospress.com
The Alzheimer's disease (AD)-associated amyloid-β protein precursor (AβPP) is cleaved by α-, β-, and presenilin (PS)/γ-secretases through sequential regulated proteolysis. These …
E Dawkins, DH Small - Journal of neurochemistry, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
The β‐amyloid precursor protein (APP) has been extensively studied for its role as the precursor of the β‐amyloid protein (Aβ) of Alzheimer's disease. However, the normal …
H Zhang, Q Ma, Y Zhang, H Xu - Journal of Neurochemistry …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
J. Neurochem.(2012) 120 (Suppl. 1), 9–21. Abstract β‐Amyloid precursor protein (APP) is a critical factor in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). APP undergoes post …
H Zheng, EH Koo - Molecular neurodegeneration, 2011 - Springer
The amyloid precursor protein (APP) plays a central role in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease in large part due to the sequential proteolytic cleavages that result in …
UC Müller, H Zheng - Cold Spring …, 2012 - perspectivesinmedicine.cshlp.org
Biochemical and genetic evidence establishes a central role of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) in Alzheimer disease (AD) pathogenesis. Biochemically, deposition of the β …
NN Nalivaeva, AJ Turner - FEBS letters, 2013 - Elsevier
For 20 years the amyloid cascade hypothesis of Alzheimer disease (AD) has placed the amyloid-β peptide (Aβ), formed from the amyloid precursor protein (APP), centre stage in the …
H Zheng, EH Koo - Molecular neurodegeneration, 2006 - Springer
The amyloid precursor protein (APP) takes a central position in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis: APP processing generates the β-amyloid (Aβ) peptides, which are deposited …
