NGF and APP Interplay: Focus on YENPTY Motif of Amyloid Precursor Protein and Y682 Residue
Cholinergic deficits originated from NGF metabolism disruption, represent one of the early changes in Alzheimer’s disease, where abnormal deposition of β-amyloid peptide (Aβ) and phosphorylated Tau define the neuropathological hallmarks of the disorder. A failure in NGF maturation can promote pro-apoptotic pathway activation, through p75 receptor; while lack of NGF signalling can generate an atypical TrkA receptor phosphorylation resulting in neuronal cell death and Aβ toxicity. These evidences suggest a complex interaction between TrkA, p75, and Aβ, whose ... view moreĀ»
