Abstract excerpt
Gamma-secretase is responsible for the final cleavage of amyloid precursor protein to generate the amyloid-beta protein, the major component of plaques in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients. gamma-Secretase inhibitors (GSI) have been explored for therapeutic inhibition of amyloid beta protein generation, but mechanistic toxicity has been documented because of its blockage of gamma-secretase cleavage of...
