The phospholipase A2 pathway controls a synaptic cholesterol ester cycle and synapse damage (2018)
Journal Article
Osborne, C., West, E., & Bate, C. (2018). The phospholipase A2 pathway controls a synaptic cholesterol ester cycle and synapse damage. Journal of Cell Science, 131(8), https://doi.org/10.1242/jcs.211789

The cellular prion protein (PrPC) acts as a scaffold protein that organises signalling complexes. In synaptosomes, the aggregation of PrPC by amyloid-β (Aβ) oligomers attracts and activates cytoplasmic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2), leading to synapse deg...
