Trafficking and proteolytic processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) have been the
focus of numerous investigations in the past two decades, since the identification of Aβ as
the principal component of brain senile plaques and the cloning of APP cDNA. Tremendous
progress has been made in the recent past toward the characterization of β-and γ-
secretases. Here, we review the salient features of Alzheimer disease amyloidogenesis, and
discuss the current knowledge on APP trafficking and amyloidogenic processing of APP in …
