Neprilysin Deficiency Alters the Neuropathological and Behavioral Phenotype in the 5XFAD Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease
19 Feb 2015
Abstract excerpt
The deposition of amyloid-β (Aβ) is one of the major neuropathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In the case of sporadic AD, an imbalance in Aβ in production and clearance seems to be the reason for an enhanced Aβ accumulation. Besides a systematic clearance through the blood-brain barrier, Aβ is cleared from the brain by Aβ-degrading enzymes. The metalloprotease neprilysin (NEP) is an important...
