Abeta, an important player in AD, is derived from beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP) through sequential cleavages by beta- and gamma-secretases: APP is cleaved by beta-secretase (BACE1) to generate the large secreted derivative sAPPbeta and the membrane-bound APP C-terminal fragment-beta; the latter can be further cleaved by gamma-secretase to generate Abeta and APP intracellular domain. Alternatively, APP can be cleaved by alpha-secretase within the Abeta domain, which precludes Abeta production and instead generates secreted sAPPalpha that has been shown to be neuroprotective
