    Background

    Amyloid beta precursor protein (APP) is a 100-140 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein containing the amyloid domain (A-beta). Beta-secretase is involved in proteolytic cleavage of APP releasing A-beta. The extracellular deposition and accumulation of the released A-beta fragments form the main components of amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease (1). Thimet oligopeptidase is a ubiquitously expressed metalloendopeptidase that was originally identified as a candidate beta-secretase (2). However, subsequent studies show that Thimet oligopeptidase promotes A-beta degradation. In addition, Thimet oligopeptidase inactivates a number of neuropeptides such as somatostatin, bradykinin, substance P and neurotensin (3). Finally, Thimet oligopeptidase has been shown both to increase and decrease presentation of antigenic peptides by the MHC-I at the cell surface. Despite these opposing results, there is consensus that Thimet oligopeptidase degrades peptides released by the proteasome (4-5).
