Abstract excerpt
An age-dependent decline in the amyloid-β (Aβ)-degrading enzyme neprilysin (NEP) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recently identified risk alleles in the NEP-coding gene further support its role in AD etiology. However, evidence for the impact of NEP on the pathophysiological progression of Aβ plaque formation, particularly in comparison with another Aβ-degrading...
