FIGURE 1.
Domains of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and the APP-like proteins (APLP) protein family members. APP and its mammalian homologues APLP1 and APLP2 share similar domain architecture including the E1 and E2-domains, which potentially drive dimerisation. APP770, APP751, and APLP2 are characterised by the Kunitz type protease inhibitor domain (KPI) upstream of E2. APP770 includes also the OX2 domain. Both APP and APLPs contain a transmembrane domain (TMD) but only APPs have the Aβ sequence (purple). Created with BioRender.com.
