  1. Apolipoprotein E4 Impairs Neuronal Insulin Signaling by Trapping Insulin Receptor in the Endosomes

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Neuron 2017-09-01 Genetics

    Diabetes and impaired brain insulin signaling are linked to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  2. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with reduced insulin level and impairment of insulin receptor (IR) signaling in the brain, which correlates to amyloid pathology, neuroinflammation, and synaptic neurotoxicity.

  3. Presenilin 1 (PS1), a causative molecule of familial Alzheimer's disease (AD), is known to be an unprimed substrate of glycogen synthase kinase 3 β (GSK3β) [Twomey and McCarthy (2006) FEBS Lett 580:4015-4020] and is phosphorylated at serine 353, 357 residues in its cytoplasmic loop region [Kirschenbaum et al. (2001) J Biol Chem 276:7366-7375].
