Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Caspase-6 (casp6) in particular has been shown to play a key role in the pathogenesis of stroke, Huntington disease, and Alzheimer disease. 29193273 2018
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Our results suggest that full Casp6 activity may not be essential for healthy humans and support the use of Casp6 inhibitors against Casp6-dependent neurodegeneration in age-dependent cognitive impairment and AD. 29535332 2018

Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Taking advantage of reconstitution experiments with SMSr produced in a cell-free expression system, specific caspase-inhibitors and gene silencing approaches, we show that SMSr is a novel and specific substrate of caspase-6, a non-conventional effector caspase implicated in Huntington's and Alzheimer's diseases. 28659495 2017
