Health | This disorder is due to a deficiency of a lipid breakdown enzyme known as ceramidetrihexosidase, also called alpha-galactosidase A. Its function is to cleave to a molecule of galactose from a lipid that arises primarily from old red blood cells. (references) | |
Its parent protein, APP, protrudes through the neuron membrane, part inside and part outside the cell. There only for a moment, it is continually replaced by new APP molecules manufactured in the cell. While it is embedded in the membrane, enzymes called proteases snip or cleave it in two, creating the beta amyloid fragment. (references) | ||
For example, in a study conducted by a team from Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, researchers showed that the genes for the protease known as beta-secretase map to chromosome 11 (BACE1) and the Down's region of chromosome 21 (BACE2) (Saunders et al., 1999). The beta-secretases cleave the amyloid precursor protein to produce beta-amyloid in the brains of patients with AD and Down's syndrome, and they represent powerful new targets for drugs to treat these disorders.
