We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

| - | + | '''Amyloid precursor protein''' (APP) is a transmembranal protein which is thought to regulate transcription. APP plays a role in synaptic formation and repair.<ref>PMID:12927332</ref> | |
| - | == | + | == Disease == |
| - | + | APP is cleaved by β-secretase and the resulting N terminal peptide which is ca. 40 amino acid long is called hAPP β-peptide. The aggregation of the hAPP β-peptide is the cause of Alzheimer’s Disease. For detailed discussion see<br /> | |

| - | == | + | The extracellular region of APP contains several domains named E1 (residues 1-189) and E2 (residues 346-551). The E1 domain contains a growth factor-like or heparin-binding (residues 28-123) and Cu-binding (residues 124-189) subdomains. Additional domains are: Kunitz-type protease inhibitor (residues 287-344) and Zn-binding (residues 672-687). The Z-binding domain is involved in the oligomerizatin of APP. |
