Amyloid Precursor Protein Is Synthesized by Retinal Ganglion Cells, Rapidly Transported to the Optic Nerve Plasma Membrane and Nerve Terminals, and Metabolized

TL;DR: Investigation of the synthesis, axonal transport, and processing of the β‐amyloid precursor protein (APP) in in vivo rabbit retinal ganglion cells finds a protease(s) that can potentially cleave APP to generate an amyloidogenic fragment is present in the same optic nerve membrane compartment as APP.
