Functional characterization of a vacuolar invertase from Solanum lycopersicum: post-translational regulation by N-glycosylation and a proteinaceous inhibitor.

abstract：:Amyloid beta protein (beta/A4) is deposited in senile plaques of patients with Alzheimer's disease. This protein is derived from a larger membrane-associated protein, termed amyloid precursor protein (APP). The constitutive processing of APP occurs at the central portion of beta/A4, resulting in the release of large N...
