Scope note

  • A single-pass type I membrane protein. It is cleaved by AMYLOID PRECURSOR PROTEIN SECRETASES to produce peptides of varying amino acid lengths. A 39-42 amino acid peptide, AMYLOID BETA-PEPTIDES is a principal component of the extracellular amyloid in SENILE PLAQUES.

History note

  • 92; was AMYLOID BETA PROTEIN PRECURSOR (NM) 1988-91; AMYLOID A4 PROTEIN PRECURSOR was NM 1987-94
