APP processing enzymes (secretases) as therapeutic targets: insights from the use of transgenics (Tgs) and transfected cells.
Abstract
Secretases degrade amyloid precursor protein (APP) releasing fragments (β-peptides Aβ, Aβx) that assemble to form hallmark extracellular deposits in Alzheimer's disease (AD) correlating with disease severity. As such, secretases supply targets for therapeutic intervention and form the focus of this overview. Progress in elucidating secretases and their modes of catalysis come from exploiting the use of transgenics or transfected cells. In...
