AnnotationAn understanding of the beta A4/APP metabolic pathway is recognised as vital to the elucidation of the nature of Alzheimer's disease. This paper overviews early studies of the Alzheimer's disease plaque amyloid, the subsequent identification of the amyloid protein precursor (APP) and its gene, and the description of the structure and function of APP and beta A4.
