Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by the senile plaques, neurofibrillary tangles and loss of synapses and neurons. AD has been largely viewed as a disease of toxicity being mediated by the accumulation of the amyloid beta (Abeta) peptide as plaques within the brain resulting in damage to brain cells from the binding of damaging metals, reactive oxygen species production and direct damage to cellular membranes. Recent research has suggested that the Abeta peptide is a multifunctional peptide with non-pathological effects and that its association with AD is in conjunction with its roles in combination with other proteins such as the amyloid precursor protein (APP) resulting in the imbalance between the processes of memory formation and normal forgetting. It is through the interactions of the Abeta peptide with APP that the Abeta peptide itself can affect normal modulation and signaling of APP resulting in its indicated role in the pathogenesis of AD via signaling effects rather than chemical or physical effects. There are three major APP isoforms (APP695, APP751 and APP770) that are formed through alternative splicing of precursor mRNA. APP770 represents the canonical sequence. The APP695 isoform is preferentially expressed in the central nervous system, while APP770 and APP751 are more highly expressed in peripheral tissues. It has been demonstrated that the full length APP695 can be cleaved via caspase at an intracellular site (Asp664) resulting in the release of a 31 amino acid C-terminal peptide (C31) from the remaining larger neo-APP fragment (APP deltaC31) with both of these entities being pro-apoptotic. Immunohistochemical analysis of human brain tissue demonstrated that this cytoplasmic cleavage occurs 4-fold greater in patients with AD versus normal patients and that these cleavage products are localized to plaques and tangles in key areas of the brain affected by the disease. A single genetic mutation of aspartic acid residue 664 to alanine of APP695 led to the complete blockage of the C-terminal cleavage in vivo reversing many characteristics of the AD phenotype in a transgenic mouse model. Additionally, in cell culture it has been suggested that the neurotoxicity of Abeta is dependent on the cleavage of APP at Asp664 and the resulting Abeta-facilitated APP multimerization.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a cell surface receptor and transmembrane precursor protein that is cleaved by secretases to form a number of peptides. Some of these peptides are secreted and can bind to the acetyltransferase complex APBB1/TIP60 to promote transcriptional activation, while others form the protein basis of the amyloid plaques found in the brains of patients with Alzheimer disease. Mutations in this gene have been implicated in autosomal dominant Alzheimer disease and cerebroarterial amyloidosis (cerebral amyloid angiopathy). Multiple transcript variants encoding several different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uniprot Description

APP: a cell surface receptor that influences neurite growth, neuronal adhesion and axonogenesis. Cleaved by secretases to form a number of peptides, some of which bind to the acetyltransferase complex Fe65/TIP60 to promote transcriptional activation. The Abeta peptide is released from the cell, its extracellular deposition and accumulation form the main components of amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease. Mutations in this gene have been implicated in autosomal dominant Alzheimer disease and cerebroarterial amyloidosis. Can promote transcription activation through binding to Fe65-Tip60 and inhibits Notch signaling through interaction with Numb. Couples to apoptosis-inducing pathways such as those mediated by G(O) and JIP. Inhibits G(O) alpha ATPase activity. Acts as a kinesin I membrane receptor, mediating the axonal transport of beta-secretase and presenilin 1. Involved in copper homeostasis/oxidative stress through copper ion reduction. In vitro, copper-metallated APP induces neuronal death directly or is potentiated through Cu(2+)-mediated low-density lipoprotein oxidation. Can regulate neurite outgrowth through binding to components of the extracellular matrix such as heparin and collagen I and IV. Induces a RAGE-dependent pathway that activates p38 MAPK, resulting in internalization of amyloid-beta peptide and leading to mitochondrial dysfunction in cultured cortical neurons. Provides Cu(2+) ions for GPC1 which are required for release of nitric oxide (NO) and subsequent degradation of the heparan sulfate chains on GPC1. Binds, via its C-terminus, to the PID domain of several cytoplasmic proteins, including APBB family members, the APBA family, JIP1, SHC1 and, NUMB and DAB1. Binding to DAB1 inhibits its serine phosphorylation. Associates with microtubules in the presence of ATP and in a kinesin-dependent manner. Amyloid beta-42 binds nAChRA7 in hippocampal neurons. Beta-amyloid associates with HADH2. Soluble APP binds, via its N-terminal head, to FBLN1. Expressed in all fetal tissues examined with highest levels in brain, kidney, heart and spleen. Weak expression in liver. In adult brain, highest expression found in the frontal lobe of the cortex and in the anterior perisylvian cortex- opercular gyri. Moderate expression in the cerebellar cortex, the posterior perisylvian cortex-opercular gyri and the temporal associated cortex. Weak expression found in the striate, extra- striate and motor cortices. Expressed in cerebrospinal fluid, and plasma. 10 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Isoform APP695 is the predominant form in neuronal tissue, isoform APP751 and isoform APP770 are widely expressed in non- neuronal cells. Isoform APP751 is the most abundant form in T-lymphocytes. Appican is expressed in astrocytes. The splice isoforms that contain the BPTI domain possess protease inhibitor activity. Belongs to the APP family.
