Somatostatin receptor subtypes 1 and 4 redundantly regulate neprilysin, the major amyloid-beta degrading enzyme in brain
2020-05-10
Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) brains are characterized by increased levels of the pathogenic amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide, which accumulates into extracellular plaques. Finding a way to lower Aβ levels is fundamental for the prevention and treatment of AD. Neprilysin is the major Aβ degrading enzyme which is regulated by the neuropeptide somatostatin. Here we used a combination of in vitro and in vivo approaches to iden...
