Biochemical Identification of the Neutral Endopeptidase Family Member Responsible for the Catabolism of Amyloid Peptide in the Brain
1 Dec 2000
Abstract excerpt
Amyloid beta peptide (Abeta) is a physiological peptide that is constantly catabolized in the brain. We previously demonstrated that an endopeptidase sensitive to phosphoramidon and thiorphan conducts the initial rate-limiting proteolysis of Abeta in vivo, but the exact molecular identity of the peptidase(s) has remained unknown because of the molecular redundancy of such activity. We analyzed the brain-derived...
