Description
CAPN2 mediates neurodegenerative effect through cleavage of a range of proteins linked to tau hyperphosphorylation (GSK-3β), higher levels of Aβ (NCX3), or poor memory (CPEB3). Inhibiting calpain-2 might reduce cleavage of these proteins and reverse its neurodegenerative effect. This aim of this TEP is to produce reagents to allow for further analysis of CAPN2 as a potential target for AD treatment.
