APP Processing Assay Service
As a key target in neurobiological research, abnormal processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) is closely related to the pathological progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Our in vitro APP processing assay service uses world-leading multidimensional analysis technology to provide accurate data support for drug development and mechanism research. For further information regarding the products and services provided, project-specific consultation, and pricing, please submit an inquiry here.
Introduction
APP is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein containing a large extracellular domain, a transmembrane region and a short intracellular tail. Its gene is located on human chromosome 21, and the subtype that is highly expressed in the central nervous system is APP695. Normal functions of APP include regulation of synaptic development, neural plasticity, cell signaling, and mineral transport. Its secretory fragments (such as sAPPα) have neuroprotective, neurotrophic and gene expression-promoting effects. APP processing is a complex enzymatic cleavage process involving two main competing pathways: the non-amyloidogenic pathway (dominated by α-secretase) and the amyloidogenic pathway (dominated by β/γ-secretase).
Available Assays at Creative Biolabs
- Dual Route Dynamic Monitoring
Simultaneous detection of the α-secretase non-amyloid pathway (generating neuroprotective sAPPα and p3 peptides) and the β-secretase amyloid pathway (generating pathogenic Aβ). It can identify key protease activities such as ADAM10, BACE1 and γ-secretase. Detection sensitivity reaches the pg level.

- Multi-Dimensional Detection Platform
We offer a variety of detection methods, including but not limited to Chemiluminescent Immunoassay (CLIA): specificity > 90%, supports multiple sample types such as serum/plasma/cerebrospinal fluid. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technology: can distinguish between full-length APP protein and its cleavage fragments (C83/C99). Mass spectrometry verification service: accurate identification of Aβ subtypes (such as Aβ40/Aβ42).
- Detailed Analysis of Pathological Mechanisms
Our scientists also provide analytical services, including but not limited to: detecting the effect of ubiquitination modification on APP metabolism (regulated by ligases such as VHL/HRD1), analyzing the damage of β/γ secretase co-localization on cell function, and evaluating the non-toxic cleavage of APP by metalloproteinases (such as Meprin β).
