Brief description Alzheimer’s disease results from the production of toxic neuropeptides by the action of an enzyme called BACE. The generation of toxic peptides requires the movement or trafficking of BACE between different cell compartments. This research will reveal the molecular machinery of the BACE transport pathway. This new knowledge will provide a strategy to develop drugs to inhibit BACE activity and the production of the toxic peptide, which would be of significant benefit to patients and families.
