Brief description Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder which is highly prevalent in aging population. Amyloid beta is a toxic peptide derived from a metabolic processing of its precursor amyloid precursor protein (APP). This project will examine how a novel protein called sortilin interacts with APP and its processing enzyme and how the toxic peptide is produced. Understanding the trafficking of APP and beta-secretase ?BACE? regulated by sortilin may help understanding how Alzheimer's disease is developed.
