Generation of aggregation prone N-terminally truncated amyloid β peptides by meprin β depends on the sequence specificity at the cleavage site

BACKGROUND: The metalloprotease meprin β cleaves the Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) relevant amyloid precursor protein (APP) as a β-secretase reminiscent of BACE-1, however, predominantly generating N-terminally truncated Aβ2-x variants. RESULTS: Herein, we observed increased endogenous sAPPα levels in th...
