Dimerization of the transmembrane domain of amyloid precursor protein is determined by residues around the γ-secretase cleavage sites

One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease is the formation of extracellular amyloid plaques that consist mainly of abnormally aggregated forms of amyloid β (Aβ) peptides. These peptides are generated by γ-secretase–catalyzed cleavage of a dimeric membrane-bound C-terminal fragment (C99) of th...
