Mutations in APP have independent effects on Aβ and CTFγ generation

Understanding the molecular mechanism of β-amyloid (Aβ) generation is crucial for Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis as well as for normal APP function. The transmembrane domain (TM) of APP appears to undergo presenilin-dependent γ-secretase cleavage at two topologically distinct sites: a site in...
