Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The APP (amyloid precursor protein) gene is involved in the snipping or processing of amyloid proteins in the brain. In individuals with Alzheimer's disease, this processing is faulty, leading to the buildup of beta-amyloid plaques that can damage and kill neurons. This is why scientists are exploring the idea of drugs that can inhibit the processing of amyloid proteins as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease.
