Aβ degradation or cerebral perfusion? Divergent effects of multifunctional enzymes.

Aβ degradation or cerebral perfusion? Divergent effects of multifunctional enzymes.

There is increasing evidence that deficient clearance of β-amyloid (Aβ) contributes to its accumulation in late-onset Alzheimer disease (AD). Several Aβ-degrading enzymes, including neprilysin (NEP), endothelin-converting enzyme (ECE) and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) reduce Aβ levels and prot...
