Product Description
This is a Ph.D. dissertation. Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative late-onset disease. Important players in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease are the amyloid precursor protein (APP) but also the proteases or secretases that cleave this type I transmembrane protein, not in the least because short proteolytic peptide fragments of APP, called Amyloid B peptides, clearly accumulate in the brain of Alzheimer's patients.
