Open AccessContactin-associated protein-like 2 (CNTNAP2) mutations impair the essential α-secretase cleavages, leading to autism-like phenotypes
Mutations in the Contactin-associated protein-like 2 (CNTNAP2) gene are associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and ectodomain shedding of the CNTNAP2 protein plays a role in its function. However, key en...

Open AccessBACE2 degradation is mediated by both the proteasome and lysosome pathways
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common neurodegenerative disease in the elderly. Amyloid-β protein (Aβ) is the major component of neuritic plaques which are the hallmark of AD pathology. β-site APP cleaving en...

A Novel Alzheimer-Associated SNP in Tmp21 Increases Amyloidogenesis
Recent studies suggest that TMP21 is a selective modulator of γ-secretase and its dysregulation affects APP processing, leading to increased Aβ generation. However, the genetic association between Tmp21 and Alzhe...

Aberrant Expression of RCAN1 in Alzheimer’s Pathogenesis: A New Molecular Mechanism and a Novel Drug Target
AD, a devastating neurodegenerative disorder, is the most common cause of dementia in the elderly. Patients with AD are characterized by three hallmarks of neuropathology including neuritic plaque deposition, ...
