O-GlcNAcylation regulates extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activation in Alzheimer’s disease

IntroductionAberrant activation of Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase (ERK) signaling is associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis. For example, enhanced ERK signal activation mediated by Apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4), which is a critical genetic risk factor for AD, increases the transcription of amyloid precursor protein (APP). We hypothesize that O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) regulates the phosphorylation and activation of […]
