additional information | genetic ablation of CST3 in hAPP-J20 mice significantly lowers soluble amyloid beta levels, the relative abundance of amyloid beta 1-42, and plaque load. CysC removal also attenuates amyloid beta-associated cognitive deficits and behavioral abnormalities and restores synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus | Mus musculus |
Inhibitors | Comment | Organism | Structure |
---|---|---|---|
cystatin C | CysC or CST3, an endogenous inhibitor of cysteine proteases, including cathepsin B | Mus musculus |
