The amyloid precursor protein (βAPP) undergoes several proteolytic cleavages. While β- and γ-secretases are responsible for the production of the 40-43 amino-acid long amyloid β peptide (Aβ), the α-secretase cut performed by the disintegrins ADAM10 and ADAM17, occurs in the middle of the Aβ sequence, thereby preventing its formation and leading...

The cellular prion protein (PrP(c)) undergoes a physiological processing yielding the N-terminal fragment referred to as N1, the production of which can be constitutive or protein kinase C regulated. We show that activation of endogenous muscarinic receptors by carbachol and by the M1-selective agonist AF267B increases N1 recovery in an...
