| Background | Amyloid-beta precursor protein (APP/Amyloid beta) is a ~86 kDa protein. Functions as a cell surface receptor and performs physiological functions on the surface of neurons relevant to neurite growth, neuronal adhesion and axonogenesis. Interaction between APP molecules on neighboring cells promotes synaptogenesis. Involved in cell mobility and transcription regulation through protein-protein interactions. Can promote transcription activation through binding to APBB1-KAT5 and inhibits Notch signaling through interaction with Numb. Couples to apoptosis-inducing pathways such as those mediated by G(o) and JIP. APP is the therapeutic target of lecanemab (Leqembi). 1. Baumkötter, F. et al.
