Dimerization of the transmembrane domain of amyloid precursor proteins and familial Alzheimer's disease mutants

BACKGROUND: Amyloid precursor protein (APP) is enzymatically cleaved by γ-secretase to form two peptide products, either Aβ40 or the more neurotoxic Aβ42. The Aβ42/40 ratio is increased in many cases of familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD). The transmembrane domain (TM) of APP contains the known...
