Abstract excerpt
Inherited amino acid substitutions at position 21, 22, or 23 of amyloid beta (Abeta) lead to presenile dementia or stroke. Insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) can hydrolyze Abeta wild type, yet whether IDE is capable of degrading Abeta bearing pathogenic substitutions is not known. We studied the degradation of all of the published Abeta genetic variants by recombinant rat IDE (rIDE). Monomeric Abeta wild type,...
