Figure 1. Aβ42 binds to and impairs ABAD activity, while HA (human amylin) does not.

(A) Treatment of SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells with Aβ42 causes decreased levels of estradiol, indicative of an impairment of ABAD activity, while HA does not. Results are means ± SE, (n = 5 to 6 per group), **, P<0.01 (B) Pull-down of ABAD from SH-SY5Y cells shows that different from HA, Aβ42 can bind to ABAD in vitro. (C) Structure of the ABAD inhibitor, AG18051 (adapted from Kissinger et al., JMB 2004).
