    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. CNS & neurological disorders drug targets 2015-01-01 Drug development

    An increasing number of studies have demonstrated that insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) plays an essential role in both the degradation and its activity of β-amyloid (Aβ).

  2. Improved learning and memory in aged mice deficient in amyloid beta-degrading neutral endopeptidase

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. PloS one 2009-02-25 Drug development

    The existence of peptides targeted by NEP that improve learning and memory in older individuals may represent a promising avenue for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
