amyloid-beta metabolic process

Definition

Target type: biologicalprocess

The chemical reactions and pathways involving amyloid-beta, a glycoprotein associated with Alzheimer's disease, and its precursor, amyloid precursor protein (APP). [GOC:ai]

Amyloid-beta (Aβ) metabolic process is a complex and multifaceted pathway involved in the production, processing, and clearance of Aβ peptides, small protein fragments that play a critical role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.

**1. Production:** Aβ is generated from the amyloid precursor protein (APP), a transmembrane protein found in neurons and other cells. APP undergoes sequential proteolytic cleavage by two enzymes: β-secretase (BACE1) and γ-secretase.
* **β-secretase cleavage:** BACE1 cleaves APP within its extracellular domain, generating a soluble fragment called sAPPβ and a membrane-bound fragment called C99.
* **γ-secretase cleavage:** γ-secretase, a multiprotein complex, cleaves C99 at the transmembrane domain, releasing Aβ peptides of varying lengths, primarily Aβ40 and Aβ42.

**2. Aggregation:** Aβ peptides are highly hydrophobic and prone to aggregation, forming oligomers and fibrils.
* **Monomers:** Individual Aβ peptides initially exist as monomers.
* **Oligomers:** Monomers associate with each other, forming small, soluble aggregates called oligomers. These oligomers are highly toxic and believed to be the primary mediators of neuronal damage in Alzheimer's disease.
* **Fibrils:** Oligomers further aggregate into larger, insoluble fibrils, which are the hallmark of amyloid plaques found in the brains of Alzheimer's patients.

**3. Clearance:**
* **Degradation:** Aβ peptides can be degraded by various proteases, including neprilysin, insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE), and plasmin.
* **Efflux:** Aβ can be transported out of the brain through the blood-brain barrier by transporters like P-glycoprotein.
* **Glial uptake:** Microglia, the brain's resident immune cells, can phagocytose and degrade Aβ.

**4. Dysregulation in Alzheimer's Disease:**
* **Increased production:** Elevated levels of BACE1 or mutations in APP can lead to increased Aβ production.
* **Reduced clearance:** Deficiencies in Aβ degradation or efflux mechanisms can contribute to Aβ accumulation.
* **Abnormal aggregation:** Mutations in Aβ or other proteins can promote aberrant aggregation, leading to the formation of toxic oligomers and fibrils.

**The delicate balance between Aβ production, aggregation, and clearance is crucial for maintaining brain health. Dysregulation in this pathway, resulting in Aβ accumulation, is a key driver of Alzheimer's disease pathology.**'

It is sometimes useful also as an adjunct in the treatment of tonic-clonic, myoclonic, and atonic seizures, particularly in women whose seizures occur or are exacerbated at specific times in the menstrual cycle. However, its usefulness is transient often because of rapid development of tolerance. Its antiepileptic effect may be due to its inhibitory effect on brain carbonic anhydrase, which leads to an increased transneuronal chloride gradient, increased chloride current, and increased inhibition.
