{"symbol":"APBA1","synonyms":["D9S411E","MINT1","X11A","X11","LIN10","X11ALPHA"],"name":"amyloid beta (A4) precursor protein-binding, family A, member 1","description":"The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the X11 protein family. It is a neuronal adapter protein that interacts with the Alzheimer\u0027s disease amyloid precursor protein (APP). It stabilizes APP and inhibits production of proteolytic APP fragments including the A beta peptide that is deposited in the brains of Alzheimer\u0027s disease patients. This gene product is believed to be involved in signal transduction processes. It is also regarded as a putative vesicular trafficking protein in the brain that can form a complex with the potential to couple synaptic vesicle exocytosis to neuronal cell adhesion.
