APLP1
Sign in to saveAlso known as APLP, amyloid beta precursor like protein 1
Amyloid precursor like protein 1, also known as APLP1, is a protein encoded by the APLP1 gene in humans. APLP1 along with APLP2 are important modulators of glucose and insulin homeostasis.

This gene encodes a member of the highly conserved amyloid precursor protein gene family. The encoded protein is a membrane-associated glycoprotein that is cleaved by secretases in a manner similar to amyloid beta A4 precursor protein cleavage. This cleavage liberates an intracellular cytoplasmic fragment that may act as a transcriptional activator. The encoded protein may also play a role in synaptic maturation during cortical development. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
