Aβ peptides are generated in neuronal secretory vesicles by proteolytic cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by proteases, called β-secretase and γ-secretase that cleave at the N-terminus and variant C-termini of Aβ within APP, respectively, resulting in Aβ of 40 or 42 amino acids (Aβ40 and Aβ42, respectively) | Aβ peptides are generated in neuronal secretory vesicles by proteolytic cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by proteases, called β-secretase and γ-secretase that cleave at the N-terminus and variant C-termini of Aβ within APP, respectively, resulting in Aβ of 40 or 42 amino acids (Aβ40 and Aβ42, respectively)<ref>PMID:2654319</ref> | ||
