Amyloid refers to protein aggregates known for their beta-sheet structure. These aggregates accumulate extracellularly in tissues and organs. The term ‘amyloid’ encompasses a collection of proteins including amyloid beta and amyloid precursor protein which can weigh around 4 kDa to several hundred kDa depending on the type. Amyloid deposits occur in the brain and other organs. Detected through methods like Congo red staining these aggregates are important in diagnosing amyloidosis.
Biological function summary

The proteins that form amyloid aggregates affect cellular function by altering normal protein conformation leading to toxicity. Amyloid can form complexes with other proteins which impact cell membranes and disrupt cellular homeostasis. These alterations trigger inflammatory responses and cellular stress pathways further damaging affected tissues. Understanding amyloid proteins provides insight into their role in disease states.

Pathways

Amyloid proteins interplay with several signaling cascades notably the MAPK and NF-kB pathways. Amyloid precursor protein processed to form amyloid beta significantly influences these pathways mediating cell death and inflammation. Proteins such as tau also interact with amyloid-related pathways impacting cellular transport mechanisms. These interactions highlight amyloid's role in cell signaling and pathology.

Amyloid proteins are strongly associated with Alzheimer's disease and systemic amyloidosis. The accumulation of amyloid beta aggregates in the brain marks the pathology of Alzheimer's closely linked with tau protein hyperphosphorylation and neurofibrillary tangles. In systemic amyloidosis amyloid deposition occurs in various tissues causing organ dysfunction. The relation of target proteins like apolipoprotein E to amyloid further elucidates its implications in neurodegenerative and systemic conditions.

Functions as a cell surface receptor and performs physiological functions on the surface of neurons relevant to neurite growth, neuronal adhesion and axonogenesis. Interaction between APP molecules on neighboring cells promotes synaptogenesis (PubMed : 25122912). Involved in cell mobility and transcription regulation through protein-protein interactions. Can promote transcription activation through binding to APBB1-KAT5 and inhibits Notch signaling through interaction with Numb. Couples to apoptosis-inducing pathways such as those mediated by G(o) and JIP. Inhibits G(o) alpha ATPase activity (By similarity). Acts as a kinesin I membrane receptor, mediating the axonal transport of beta-secretase and presenilin 1 (By similarity). By acting as a kinesin I membrane receptor, plays a role in axonal anterograde transport of cargo towards synapses in axons (PubMed : 17062754, PubMed : 23011729). Involved in copper homeostasis/oxidative stress through copper ion reduction. In vitro, copper-metallated APP induces neuronal death directly or is potentiated through Cu(2+)-mediated low-density lipoprotein oxidation. Can regulate neurite outgrowth through binding to components of the extracellular matrix such as heparin and collagen I and IV. The splice isoforms that contain the BPTI domain possess protease inhibitor activity. Induces a AGER-dependent pathway that involves activation of p38 MAPK, resulting in internalization of amyloid-beta peptide and leading to mitochondrial dysfunction in cultured cortical neurons. Provides Cu(2+) ions for GPC1 which are required for release of nitric oxide (NO) and subsequent degradation of the heparan sulfate chains on GPC1.. Amyloid-beta peptides are lipophilic metal chelators with metal-reducing activity. Bind transient metals such as copper, zinc and iron. In vitro, can reduce Cu(2+) and Fe(3+) to Cu(+) and Fe(2+), respectively. Amyloid-beta peptides bind to lipoproteins and apolipoproteins E and J in the CSF and to HDL particles in plasma, inhibiting metal-catalyzed oxidation of lipoproteins. Promotes both tau aggregation and TPK II-mediated phosphorylation. Interaction with overexpressed HADH2 leads to oxidative stress and neurotoxicity. Also binds GPC1 in lipid rafts.. Amyloid-beta protein 42. More effective reductant than amyloid-beta protein 40. May activate mononuclear phagocytes in the brain and elicit inflammatory responses.. Appicans elicit adhesion of neural cells to the extracellular matrix and may regulate neurite outgrowth in the brain.. The gamma-CTF peptides as well as the caspase-cleaved peptides, including C31, are potent enhancers of neuronal apoptosis.
