Palmitoylated APP Forms Dimers, Cleaved by BACE1

A major rate-limiting step for Aβ generation and deposition in Alzheimer’s disease brains is BACE1-mediated cleavage (β-cleavage) of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). We previously reported that APP undergoes palmitoylation at two cysteine residues (Cys(186) and Cys(187)) in the E1-ectodomain. 8–...
