Definition
The generation of amyloid fibrils, insoluble fibrous protein aggregates exhibiting beta sheet structure, from proteins. Source: GOC:jj, GOC:ppm, GOC:cvs, PMID:28937655, PMID:21148556, GOC:sj, PMID:22817896, PMID:29654159
Comment
Although deposition of amyloid fibrils is associated with diseases, e.g. Alzheimer's disease, amyloid formation is a normal process. Disease occurs when the balance between amyloid formation and clearance is disrupted (reviewed e.g. in PMID:29654159 and PMID:28937655). An example of a normal amyloid complex is composed of human RIP1 and RIP3 kinases (PMID:22817896).
