This gene encodes a cell surface receptor and transmembrane precursor protein that is cleaved by secretases to form a number of peptides. Some of these peptides are secreted and can bind to the acetyltransferase complex APBB1/TIP60 to promote transcriptional activation, while others form the protein basis of the amyloid plaques found in the brains of patients with Alzheimer disease. In addition, two of the peptides are antimicrobial peptides, having been shown to have bacteriocidal and antifungal activities. Mutations in this gene have been implicated in autosomal dominant Alzheimer disease and cerebroarterial amyloidosis (cerebral amyloid angiopathy). Multiple transcript variants encoding several different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2014]
A study in humans demonstrated that a Bayesian method (NOCIt) determines the a posteriori probability (APP) distribution for the number of contributors (NOC) in forensic DNA mixtures, incorporating models for peak height, stutter, and drop-out [Grgicak et al. DOI:10.1016/j.fsigen.2021.102563]. A study in mice demonstrated that the APP is expressed in the brain following traumatic brain injury, colocalizing with astrocytes and macrophages/microglia in specific brain regions, and exhibits a sex-dependent expression pattern with higher levels in males at early time points post-injury [Soriano et al. DOI:10.1007/s10571-020-00808-3].
