What is the function of this protein?
N-APP binds TNFRSF21 triggering caspase activation and degeneration of both neuronal cell bodies (via caspase-3) and axons (via caspase-6).
What are the official names of this protein?
Amyloid-beta precursor protein, ABPP, APP, Alzheimer disease amyloid A4 protein homolog, Alzheimer disease amyloid protein, Amyloid precursor protein, Amyloid-beta (A4) precursor protein, Amyloid-beta A4 protein, Amyloidogenic glycoprotein, AG.
What is the protein family that this protein belongs to?
Belongs to the APP family.
What are the subcellular locations of this protein?
Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Perikaryon. Cell projection, growth cone. Membrane, clathrin-coated pit. Early endosome. Cytoplasmic vesicle. Note=Cell surface protein that rapidly becomes internalized via clathrin-coated pits. Only a minor proportion is present at the cell membrane; most of the protein is present in intracellular vesicles. During maturation, the immature APP (N- glycosylated in the endoplasmic reticulum) moves to the Golgi complex where complete maturation occurs (O-glycosylated and sulfated). After alpha-secretase cleavage, soluble APP is released into the extracellular space and the C-terminal is internalized to endosomes and lysosomes. Some APP accumulates in secretory transport vesicles leaving the late Golgi compartment and returns to the cell surface. APP sorts to the basolateral surface in epithelial cells (By similarity). During neuronal differentiation, the Thr-742 phosphorylated form is located mainly in growth cones, moderately in neurites and sparingly in the cell body (PubMed:10341243). Casein kinase phosphorylation can occur either at the cell surface or within a post-Golgi compartment. Associates with GPC1 in perinuclear compartments. Colocalizes with SORL1 in a vesicular pattern in cytoplasm and perinuclear regions (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: [C83]: Endoplasmic reticulum. Golgi apparatus. Early endosome. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: [C99]: Early endosome. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: [Amyloid-beta protein 42]: Cell surface. Note=Associates with FPR2 at the cell surface and the complex is then rapidly internalized. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: [Gamma-secretase C-terminal fragment 59]: Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Note=Located to both the cytoplasm and nuclei of neurons. It can be translocated to the nucleus through association with APBB1 (Fe65) (By similarity). In dopaminergic neurons, the phosphorylated Thr-743 form is localized to the nucleus (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: [Soluble APP-beta]: Secreted.
