amyloplast. (Äm`ÉlÅplÄst') , also called leucoplast, a nonpigmented organelle, or plastid, occurring in the cytoplasm of plant cells. Amyloplasts transform glucose, a simple sugar, into starch through the process of polymerization, and store starch grains within their stretched membranes.
The beta-amyloid protein involved in Alzheimerâs comes in several different molecular forms that collect between neurons. It is formed from the breakdown of a larger protein, called amyloid precursor protein. One form, beta-amyloid 42, is thought to be especially toxic. In the Alzheimerâs brain, abnormal levels of this naturally occurring protein clump together to form plaques that collect between neurons and disrupt cell function.
