Amyloid precursor protein has been shown to interact with:
The new vaccine is based on a "precursor" protein, one that is isolated from a cell infected with the virus.
The enzyme also cuts copies of itself and the other enzymes from the same precursor protein produced by the infected cell.
Sometimes, the intein of the precursor protein comes from two genes.
Many amyloidoses are inherited, due to mutations in the precursor protein.
His research proposed that peptide hormones are produced from large precursor proteins.
These are often synthesised as part of a larger precursor protein, either as a prepropeptide.
That parent molecule, called amyloid precursor protein, turned out to be about 15 times larger than the fragments in the plaques.
Scientists further discovered that the precursor protein is generated by most tissues of the body, including brain cells.
In addition to processing cellular precursor proteins, furin is also utilized by a number of pathogens.
