Binding of Proteases to Fibrillar Amyloid-β Protein and its Inhibition by Congo Red

Explore this paper's citation graph

Summary

It is reported that fAβ also binds to neprilysin and insulysin, which results in the inhibition of their proteolytic activities, suggesting that clearance of soluble Aβ may be defective in AD because of binding of proteases to amyloid plaques, leading to inactivation of proteases that are required for catabolism of Aβ.
