ProteinkinaseC (PKC) is known to participate in the processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Abnormal processing of APP through the action of the beta- and gamma-secretases leads to the production of the 39-43 amino acid Abeta fragment, which is neurotoxic and which is believed to play an important role in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease. PKC activation enhances alpha-secretase activity
