  1. Effect of Presenilin Mutations on APP Cleavage; Insights into the Pathogenesis of FAD

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Frontiers in aging neuroscience 2016-03-11 Biomarkers

    Alzheimer disease (AD) is characterized by progressive memory loss, reduction in cognitive functions, and damage to the brain.

  2. Amyloid-β production via cleavage of amyloid-β protein precursor is modulated by cell density

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2010-01-01 Biomarkers

    Mounting evidence suggests that Alzheimer's disease (AD) is caused by the accumulation of the small peptide, amyloid-β (Aβ), a proteolytic cleavage product of amyloid-β protein precursor (AβPP).

  3. Caspase-mediated cleavage of glial fibrillary acidic protein within degenerating astrocytes of the Alzheimer's disease brain

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The American journal of pathology 2006-03-01 Biomarkers

    Recent studies demonstrate roles for activation of caspases and cleavage of cellular proteins within neurons of the Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain.

  4. Cholesterol modulates alpha-secretase cleavage of amyloid precursor protein

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of biological chemistry 1996-02-01 Genetics

    Amyloid precursor protein (APP) and cholesterol metabolism are genetically linked to Alzheimer's disease, the latter through apolipoprotein E, a lipid and cholesterol transport protein.
