Effects of heparin and enoxaparin on APP processing and Aβ production in primary cortical neurons from Tg2576 mice.

<h4>Background</h4>Alzheimer's disease (AD) is caused by accumulation of Aβ, which is produced through sequential cleavage of β-amyloid precursor protein (APP) by the β-site APP cleaving enzyme (BACE1) and γ-secretase. Enoxaparin, a low molecular weight form of the glycosaminoglycan...
