PS Dependent APP Cleavage Regulates Glucosylceramide Synthase and is Affected in Alzheimer's Disease

Background: Gangliosides were found to be associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here we addressed a potential function of γ-secretase (presenilin) dependent cleavage of the amyloid-precursor-protein (APP) in the regulation of ganglioside de novo synthesis. Methods: To identify a po...
