Neprilysin and Aβ-clearance: impact of the APP intracellular domain in NEP regulation and implications in Alzheimer´s disease

Abstract: One of the characteristic hallmarks of Alzheimer´s disease (AD) is an accumulation of Amyloid β (Aβ) leading to plaque formation and toxic oligomeric Aβ complexes. Besides the de novo synthesis of Aβ caused by amyloidogenic processing of the Amyloid precursor protein (APP), Aβ lev...
