Drosophila Eye Model to Study Neuroprotective Role of CREB Binding Protein (CBP) in Alzheimer’s Disease

Abstract

We have identified CBP as a genetic modifier of Aβ42 mediated neurodegeneration. Furthermore, we have identified BHQ domain of CBP is responsible for its neuroprotective function. These studies may have significant bearing on our understanding of genetic basis of AD.
