Isomerization of Asp7 in Beta-Amyloid Enhances Inhibition of the α7 Nicotinic Receptor and Promotes Neurotoxicity

Cholinergic dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) can be mediated by the neuronal α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR). Beta-amyloid peptide (Aβ) binds to the α7nAChR, disrupting the receptor’s function and causing neurotoxicity. In vivo not only Aβ but also its modified forms can drive A...
