The Implication of STEP in Synaptic Plasticity and Cognitive Impairments in Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Neurological Disorders
STriatal-Enriched protein tyrosine Phosphatase (STEP) is a tyrosine phosphatase that has been implicated in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common form of dementia, and many other neurological diseases. The protein level and activity of STEP have been found to be elevated in most of these disorde...
