[[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/A4_HUMAN A4_HUMAN]] Defects in APP are the cause of Alzheimer disease type 1 (AD1) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/104300 104300]]. AD1 is a familial early-onset form of Alzheimer disease. It can be associated with cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Alzheimer disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive dementia, loss of cognitive abilities, and deposition of fibrillar amyloid proteins as intraneuronal neurofibrillary tangles, extracellular amyloid plaques and vascular amyloid deposits. The major constituent of these plaques is the neurotoxic amyloid-beta-APP 40-42 peptide (s), derived proteolytically from the transmembrane precursor protein APP by sequential secretase processing. The cytotoxic C-terminal fragments (CTFs) and the caspase-cleaved products such as C31 derived from APP, are also implicated in neuronal death.<ref>PMID:8476439</ref> <ref>PMID:15201367</ref> <ref>PMID:1671712</ref> <ref>PMID:1908231</ref> <ref>PMID:1678058</ref> <ref>PMID:1944558</ref> <ref>PMID:1925564</ref> <ref>PMID:1415269</ref> <ref>PMID:1303239</ref> <ref>PMID:1302033</ref> <ref>PMID:1303275</ref> <ref>PMID:8267572</ref> <ref>PMID:8290042</ref> <ref>PMID:8577393</ref> <ref>PMID:9328472</ref> <ref>PMID:9754958</ref> <ref>PMID:10097173</ref> <ref>PMID:10631141</ref> <ref>PMID:10665499</ref> <ref>PMID:10867787</ref> <ref>PMID:11063718</ref> <ref>PMID:11311152</ref> <ref>PMID:11528419</ref> <ref>PMID:12034808</ref> <ref>PMID:15365148</ref> <ref>PMID:15668448</ref>   Defects in APP are the cause of cerebral amyloid angiopathy APP-related (CAA-APP) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/605714 605714]]. A hereditary localized amyloidosis due to amyloid-beta A4 peptide(s) deposition in the cerebral vessels. The principal clinical characteristics are recurrent cerebral and cerebellar hemorrhages, recurrent strokes, cerebral ischemia, cerebral infarction, and progressive mental deterioration. Patients develop cerebral hemorrhage because of the severe cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Parenchymal amyloid deposits are rare and largely in the form of pre-amyloid lesions or diffuse plaque-like structures. They are Congo red negative and lack the dense amyloid cores commonly present in Alzheimer disease. Some affected individuals manifest progressive aphasic dementia, leukoencephalopathy, and occipital calcifications.<ref>PMID:10821838</ref> <ref>PMID:2111584</ref> <ref>PMID:11409420</ref> <ref>PMID:12654973</ref> <ref>PMID:16178030</ref> 
== Function ==
[[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/A4_HUMAN A4_HUMAN]] Functions as a cell surface receptor and performs physiological functions on the surface of neurons relevant to neurite growth, neuronal adhesion and axonogenesis. Involved in cell mobility and transcription regulation through protein-protein interactions. Can promote transcription activation through binding to APBB1-KAT5 and inhibits Notch signaling through interaction with Numb. Couples to apoptosis-inducing pathways such as those mediated by G(O) and JIP. Inhibits G(o) alpha ATPase activity (By similarity). Acts as a kinesin I membrane receptor, mediating the axonal transport of beta-secretase and presenilin 1. Involved in copper homeostasis/oxidative stress through copper ion reduction. In vitro, copper-metallated APP induces neuronal death directly or is potentiated through Cu(2+)-mediated low-density lipoprotein oxidation. Can regulate neurite outgrowth through binding to components of the extracellular matrix such as heparin and collagen I and IV. The splice isoforms that contain the BPTI domain possess protease inhibitor activity. Induces a AGER-dependent pathway that involves activation of p38 MAPK, resulting in internalization of amyloid-beta peptide and leading to mitochondrial dysfunction in cultured cortical neurons. Provides Cu(2+) ions for GPC1 which are required for release of nitric oxide (NO) and subsequent degradation of the heparan sulfate chains on GPC1.<ref>PMID:9168929</ref> <ref>PMID:11544248</ref> <ref>PMID:11943163</ref> <ref>PMID:19225519</ref> <ref>PMID:19901339</ref>   Beta-amyloid peptides are lipophilic metal chelators with metal-reducing activity. Bind transient metals such as copper, zinc and iron. In vitro, can reduce Cu(2+) and Fe(3+) to Cu(+) and Fe(2+), respectively. Beta-amyloid 42 is a more effective reductant than beta-amyloid 40. Beta-amyloid peptides bind to lipoproteins and apolipoproteins E and J in the CSF and to HDL particles in plasma, inhibiting metal-catalyzed oxidation of lipoproteins. Beta-APP42 may activate mononuclear phagocytes in the brain and elicit inflammatory responses. Promotes both tau aggregation and TPK II-mediated phosphorylation.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Amyloid-beta (Abeta) harbors numerous posttranslational modifications (PTMs) that may affect Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. Here we present the 1.1 A resolution MicroED structure of an Abeta 20-34 fibril with and without the disease-associated PTM, L-isoaspartate, at position 23 (L-isoAsp23). Both wild-type and L-isoAsp23 protofilaments adopt beta-helix-like folds with tightly packed cores, resembling the cores of full-length fibrillar Abeta structures, and both self-associate through two distinct interfaces. One of these is a unique Abeta interface strengthened by the isoaspartyl modification. Powder diffraction patterns suggest a similar structure may be adopted by protofilaments of an analogous segment containing the heritable Iowa mutation, Asp23Asn. Consistent with its early onset phenotype in patients, Asp23Asn accelerates aggregation of Abeta 20-34, as does the L-isoAsp23 modification. These structures suggest that the enhanced amyloidogenicity of the modified Abeta segments may also reduce the concentration required to achieve nucleation and therefore help spur the pathogenesis of AD.
