Regulation of APP Expression, Biogenesis and Metabolism by Extracellular Matrix and Cytokinesa

Abstract
We have identified and characterized the ligand binding properties of the Alzheimer's disease (AD) βA4 amyloid protein precursor (APP), mapped the APP ligand binding sites and analyzed the regulation of APP expression, biogenesis and metabolism by components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and cytokines.
