Yasuyuki Mitani on Alzheimer's disease mutations in APP but not γ-secretase modulators affect epsilon-cleavage-dependent AICD production.
COMMENT The finding of a decrease in the AICD 49-99/50-99 ratio due to APP mutations near the γ- or ε-site is intriguing, and may partly answer why these mutations increase the Aβ 42/40 ratio if the step-wise cleavage hypothesis is correct. That GSMs have no effe
