Platelet-derived Growth Factor Induces the β-γ-Secretase-mediated Cleavage of Alzheimer's Amyloid Precursor Protein through a Src-Rac-dependent Pathway

The β-amyloid peptide (Aβ) present in the senile plaques of Alzheimer's disease derives from the cleavage of a membrane protein, named APP, driven by two enzymes, known as β- and γ-secretases. The mechanisms regulating this cleavage are not understood. We have developed an experimental syst...
