The role of the amyloid protein precursor (APP) in Alzheimer's disease: does the normal function of APP explain the topography of neurodegeneration?

abstract：:Protein kinase C (PKC) plays a key role in cellular events including proliferation, survival and differentiation. Our previous study showed the effect of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a PKC activator, inducing a decrease in retinal cells proliferation. This effect was mediated by muscarinic type 1 receptors (...
