medicine | overexpression neprilysin at low levels in transgenic mouse affects primarily the levels of neuropeptide Y compared with other neuropeptides. Neprilysin cleaves neuropeptide Y in C-terminal fragments, whereas silcencing neprilysin reduces neuropeptide Y processing. Infusion of the most abundant neuropeptide Y fragments 21-36 and 31-36 into the brain of amyloid precursor protein transgenic mice ameliorates the neurodegenerative pathology in this model. The amidated neuropeptide Y fragments protect human neuronal cultures from the neurotoxic effects of amyloid beta | Homo sapiens |
