ADAM10 (A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase Domain-Containing Protein 10) plays a critical protective role in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) due to its function as an α-secretase, an enzyme involved in the non-amyloidogenic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP).
-By preventing Aβ accumulation, ADAM10 indirectly reduces amyloid plaques.br>
-Downregulation of ADAM10 is observed in AD brains.
-ADAM10 levels are especially diminished in individuals with an APOE4 genotype
