Although sAPPbeta only differs from sAPPalpha by lacking the Abeta1-16 region at its carboxyl-terminus, sAPPbeta was reported to function as a death receptor 6 ligand and mediate axonal pruning and neuronal cell death [94] PubMed:21214928
A recent study suggested that sAPP-beta can be cleaved to generate an N-terminal fragment that is a ligand for death receptor 6, activating caspase 6 which further stimulates axonal pruning and neuronal cell death (Nikolaev et al. 2009) PubMed:22122372
