Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ), However, the mechanism of how Aβ affects neuronal cell death remains elusive. The balance of pro- and anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins (e.g., Bcl-2 and Bax) has been known to play a pivotal role in neuronal cell death. Of note, expression levels of these proteins are changed in the neurons in AD. To date no study has elusidated the relationship between Aβ and Bax.
