Metallothionein-3 modulates the amyloid β endocytosis of astrocytes through its effects on actin polymerization

BACKGROUND: Astrocytes may play important roles in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) by clearing extracellular amyloid beta (Aβ) through endocytosis and degradation. We recently showed that metallothionein 3 (Mt3), a zinc-binding metallothionein that is enriched in the central nervous sys...
