Gene Description

Plays a regulatory role in the processing of the beta-amyloid A4 precursor protein (APP) and acts as an inhibitor of the beta-amyloid peptide aggregation and fibrils deposition. Plays a role in the induction of neurite outgrowth. Functions as a protease inhibitor by blocking access of secretases to APP cleavage sites|Function: Mature BRI2 (mBRI2) functions as a modulator of the beta-amyloid A4 precursor protein (APP) processing leading to a strong reduction in the secretion of secretase-processed beta-amyloid protein 40 and beta-amyloid protein 42|Function: Bri23 peptide prevents aggregation of APP beta-amyloid protein 42 peptide into toxic oligomers.
