Amyloid Beta Precursor Like Protein 1 (APLP1) Reagents

Amyloid beta precursor like protein 1

May play a role in postsynaptic function. The C-terminal gamma-secretase processed fragment, ALID1, activates transcription activation through APBB1 (Fe65) binding. Couples to JIP signal transduction through C-terminal binding. May interact with cellular G-protein signaling pathways. Can regulate neurite outgrowth through binding to components of the extracellular matrix such as heparin and collagen I.; The gamma-CTF peptide, C30, is a potent enhancer of neuronal apoptosis.

Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.; [C30]: Cytoplasm. Note=C-terminally processed in the Golgi complex.

APP family

Expressed in the cerebral cortex where it is localized to the postsynaptic density (PSD).

This gene encodes a member of the highly conserved amyloid precursor protein gene family. The encoded protein is a membrane-associated glycoprotein that is cleaved by secretases in a manner similar to amyloid beta A4 precursor protein cleavage. This cleavage liberates an intracellular cytoplasmic fragment that may act as a transcriptional activator. The encoded protein may also play a role in synaptic maturation during cortical development. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.
