Details for messenger / hormone: sAPPalpha

EndoNet ID: ENH00887

To link to the content of EndoNet use the EndoNet ID that is given on the detail pages in the format ENX0000, where X is a place holder for the type of the component (e. g. R for receptor or C for anatomical structure).
As URL for the linking append this ID to the detail page for this type of component.
For an hormone that would be:

General information

  • Phospholipase A2 is involved in muscarinic receptor-mediated sAPPalpha release. [1]
  • Short-term interleukin-1(beta) increases the release of secreted APP(alpha) via MEK1/2-dependent and JNK-dependent alpha-secretase cleavage. [2]
  • The amyloid precursor protein is proteolytically processed by beta- and gamma-secretases to release amyloid beta, the main component in senile plaques. Alternatively, APP can be cleaved within the amyloid beta domain by alpha-secretase releasing the non-amyloidogenic product sAPP alpha, which has been shown to have neuroprotective properties. [3]
  • Interleukin-1alpha stimulates ADAM-17 synthesis, consistent with activation of the soluble fragment of Amyloid Precursor Protein (sAPPalpha) in human astrocytes. [4]

      Influenced by:

      • 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 4
        in hippocampus
        • Activation of the human 5-HT(4) receptor stimulates the secretion of the non-amyloidogenic soluble form of the amyloid precursor protein (sAPPalpha). 5-HT enhanced the level of secreted sAPPalpha in a time- and dose-dependent manner in Chinese hamster ovary cells stably expressing the h5-HT(4) receptor isoform.
