Importantly, these data also indicate a requirement of syntaxin 1 for preventing the APPBACE1 interaction. 1999) and -secretase, whereas alternate cleavage by -secretase precludes A production (De Strooper and Annaert, 2000). It is of essential importance to determine how these alternate cleavages are controlled. In vitro and in vivo studies (Simons et al., 1998;Refolo et al., 2000;Fassbender et al., 2001) have shown that high cellular cholesterol levels promote cleavage and A generation. A recent study indicates that A regulates cholesterol rate of metabolism, suggesting that cholesterol dependency Ethopabate of cleavage may be part of the opinions system for cholesterol homeostasis…
