Health | Investigators have found that presenilins have a number of other possible functions besides clipping APP. Understanding more about these functions will shed further light on the nature and development of AD, possibly leading to new targets for prevention or treatment strategies. (references) | |
They found that when soluble beta-amyloid is converted into a fibrillar form, it is much more likely to bind to certain protein receptors on the surface of neurons, including one for APP. Neurons without APP were less vulnerable to beta-amyloid's neurotoxicity than neurons with APP, indicating that the interaction of beta-amyloid with APP (and certain other surface proteins) may mediate beta-amyloid's toxicity. (references) | ||
These studies indicate fibril formation significantly increases the likelihood that beta-amyloid will bind with APP. The study showed that APP may be implicated in neurodegeneration and that beta-amyloid toxicity is at least partially linked to its interaction with APP. Determining the mechanism(s) by which beta-amyloid becomes toxic may one day allow researchers to block its lethal effects and prevent the death of nerve cells. (references) | ||
