Alzheimer's disease is the most frequent dementia. Pathologically, Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the accumulation of senile plaques composed of amyloid β‐peptide (Aβ). Two proteases, β‐ and γ‐secretase proteolytically generate Aβ from its precursor, the ß‐amyloid precursor protein (APP). Inhibition of β‐secretase, also referred to as beta‐site APP cleaving enzyme (BACE1) or γ‐secretase is...
Myelin sheath thickness is precisely adjusted to axon caliber, and in the peripheral nervous system, neuregulin 1 (NRG1) type III is a key regulator of this process. It has been proposed that the protease BACE1 activates NRG1 dependent myelination. Here, we characterize the predicted product of BACE1‐mediated NRG1 type III processing in transgenic mice. Neuronal overexpression of a NRG1 type III‐variant,...
