Alpha secretase - Wikipedia
Alpha secretases are a family of proteolytic enzymes that cleave amyloid precursor protein (APP) in its transmembrane region. Specifically, alpha secretases cleave within the fragment that …
The secretases: enzymes with therapeutic potential in Alzheimer …
α-Secretase, β-secretase and γ-secretase are proteases that control the production of amyloid-β (Aβ) in the brain. The secretases represent the most promising drug targets for Alzheimer …
Alpha Secretase - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Alpha secretase is an enzyme that competes with BACE-1 for cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP), leading to the secretion of a neurotrophic factor called APPs-alpha, which is …
APP α-Secretase, a Novel Target for Alzheimer Drug Therapy
The α-secretase cuts the extracellular domain closer to the membrane, leaving 12 amino acids on the external surface. This results in the “constitutive” secretion of the large extracellular …
α-secretase in Alzheimer's disease: molecular identity ... - PubMed
Ectodomain shedding of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by the metalloprotease activity α-secretase is a key regulatory event preventing the generation of the Alzheimer's disease (AD) …
The role and therapeutic targeting of α-, β- and γ-secretase in ...
Here we review research efforts that have attempted to inhibit the generation of the Aβ peptide through modulation of the activity of the proteolytic secretases that act on APP and discuss …
Alpha-Secretase ADAM10 Regulation: Insights into Alzheimer’s …
ADAM10 is the main α-secretase that cleaves APP (amyloid precursor protein) in the non-amyloidogenic pathway inhibiting the formation of β-amyloid peptide, whose accumulation and …
Alpha, beta-and gamma-secretases in Alzheimer's disease
2012年1月1日 · Inhibitors or modulators that target beta- and gamma-secretases as well as alpha-secretase activators are promising candidates for treatment of Alzheimer's disease. A …
The secretases: enzymes with therapeutic potential in ... - Nature
Three proteases that are involved in the processing of amyloid precursor protein—α-secretase, β-secretase and γ-secretase—are of particular interest as they are central to the generation and...
Alpha Secretase - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Alpha secretase is a protease enzyme that cleaves membrane proteins in a limited manner, with its pathway being sequence independent but conformation and membrane dependent. It plays …
