Alzheimer’s disease is a neurological disorder marked by the accumulation of amyloid beta(Aβ)aggregates,resulting from mutations in the amyloid precursor protein.The enzymeβ-secretase,also known asβ-site amyloid p...

The pharmaceutical and anticoagulant agent heparin,a member of the glycosaminoglycan family of carbohydrates,has previously been identified as a potent inhibitor of a key Alzheimer’s disease drug target,the primary n...
β-Secretase (BACE1 or β-site APP cleaving enzyme) is an acid protease that releases the neurotoxic 40 - 42 residue peptides (β-amyloid or A-β) from its glycoprotein precursor, (APP or amyloid precursor protein) wh...
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the most prevalent age-related dementia. AD can be caused by abnormal processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) or by oxidative stress or may be due to the actions of kinases or the de...

OBJECTIVE Extracellular amyloid-β(Aβ) plaques are one of the major pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer disease(AD). Therefore, decreasing Aβ levels is one strategyfor preventing the etiology of AD. Aβ peptides are...
Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Huntington's and Parkinson's diseases have multifaceted nature because of the different factors contributing to their progression. The complex nature of neurodegenerativ...
α-secretase and β-secretase are known to compete for amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing and thus play a vital role in Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis. A disintegrin and metaUoproteinase 10 (ADAM10) and...
