Knockout Animal Model
W/c part of an Alzheimers patient's brain does entaglement occur?
neocortex and hippocampus
What occurs w/in the cell body of neurons?
neurofibrillary tangles
What occurs at the end of the neutrites
senile plaques form - these are dense extra cellular aggregates
What is the consequence of tangles?
neuron cells are lost

amyloid bodies
What is the principal component of the senile plaques and amyloid bodies?
beta amyloid protein
What is the precursor of beta amyloid protein that gets cleavaged prior to producing b.a.b.
APP - Amyloid precursor protein
What enzyme is responsible for the APP cleavage?
What is observed when the last 100 residues of truncated APP gene was used?
no senile plaque formation but neurodegeneration occured
