Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive loss of memory and cognition in the elderly.
An early step involves proteolytic cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP, chromosome 21) releasing short 40, 42 & 43aa peptides (beta amyloid1-40, 1-42, and 1-43).
Polymerization of b-amyloid (Ab) and subsequent neuronal deposit (amyloid) leads to the degeneration of neurons involved in memory and cognition.
Ab deposits have also been found to contain 2 additional proteins termed a-synuclein and b-synuclein.
The 140aa a-synuclein is identical with non-Ab component (NACP) of AD.
The 134aa b-synuclein is homologous to 14kD bovine phosphoneuroprotein 14.
Mutations in a-synuclein gene causing a replacement of alanine with a threonine has the potential to cause the protein to misfold.
