Genetic studies support a neuronal origin for the beta amyloid polypeptide

Neurobiology of Aging

Abstract

Studies of Alzheimer amyloid protein precursor mRNA expression in the human brain have provided compelling evidence for a neural origin of beta amyloid. Significant alterations in levels of amyloid precursor mRNAs are observed specifically in neurons known to be risk in Alzheimer's disease and Down syndrome. These data raise the possibility that an increase in the transcripts containing the protease inhibitor domain relative to the shorter transcript may account for the accumulation of beta amyloid.

Alzheimer's Disease: Amyloid Beta

Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease associated with the accumulation of amyloid plaques in the brain; these plaques are comprised of amyloid beta deposits. Here is the latest research in this field.

Alzheimer's Disease: APP

Amyloid precursor protein (APP) proteolysis is critical for the development of Alzheimer's disease, a neurodegenerative disease associated with accumulation of amyloid plaques in the brain. Here is the latest research on APP and Alzheimer's disease.
