Increased expression of the oligopeptidase THOP1 is a neuroprotective response to Aβ toxicity

In a comprehensive proteomics study aiming at the identification of proteins associated with amyloid-beta (Aβ)-mediated toxicity in cultured cortical neurons, we have identified Thimet oligopeptidase (THOP1). Functional modulation of THOP1 levels in primary cortical neurons demonstrated that its ove...
