β澱粉樣前體蛋白(amyloid-beta precursor protein,APP[2][3])又稱β前類澱粉蛋白質,是一种广泛存在于全身组织细胞上的单次跨膜蛋白(細胞膜內嵌蛋白),在很多組織都能找到,但主要集中在神經元突觸

一般認為β澱粉樣前體蛋白能夠調控突觸的形成[4]神经可塑性[5]及排出鐵原子[6],但其主要功能仍然未明。

澱粉樣蛋白的生成被廣泛認為是由β澱粉樣前體蛋白經蛋白酶解所產生。澱粉樣蛋白是一個由37 至49個氨基酸所組成的不可溶的纖維性蛋白質,其沉積之後形成的澱粉樣蛋白斑能夠在阿兹海默症病人的大中被找到,原本認為是很多神經性疾病的病因,但目前学界认为脑细胞死亡要先于细胞外淀粉样蛋白斑块的形成,这些斑块可能是死亡的神经细胞混合着β淀粉样蛋白的遗骸[7][8]

基因學

[编辑]

β澱粉樣前體蛋白表達於很多不同的物種而且高度保守[9]。 其基因序列位於人類第21號染色體,擁有290,000個鹼基對而組成18個外顯子[10][11] 在人體中,基於選擇性剪接,β澱粉樣前體蛋白有幾個等位蛋白英语Protein isoform,長度由365至770個氨基酸不等,其中一些等位蛋白主要於神經元表達。等位蛋白間比例的改變被認為與阿兹海默症有關。[12] 同源蛋白存在於果蠅秀麗隱桿線蟲與及所有哺乳類[13] 不過,位處細胞膜間的類澱粉蛋白並不高度保守於物種間,亦與β澱粉樣前體蛋白的生物功能沒有明顯關係。[13]

某些基因突變如果發生在β澱粉樣前體蛋白的重要位置,包括但不限於發生在類澱粉蛋白序列組中,就會增加患上遺傳性阿兹海默症的機會。[14][15][16]例如一些發生在類澱粉蛋白序列外面的基因突變就被認為導致類澱粉蛋白增長。[17]

亦有些基因突變,例如是A673T,就被認為能減低患上阿兹海默症的機會。這個突變位於 beta secretase cleavage site,理論上能經由減低beta C-Terminus fragment 而抑壓類澱粉蛋白的生成。證據顯示於試管內能減低40% 類澱粉蛋白生成。[18]
