Bioactivity | Amyloid precursor C-terminal peptide is cleaved from the C-terminus of Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP). Amyloid precursor C-terminal peptide accumulation causes mitochondrial morphology alteration and basal mitophagy failure, which indicates that amyloid precursor protein C-terminal peptide may correspond to an etiological trigger of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology[1]. |
