Protein could prevent accumulation of enzyme linked to Alzheimer’s disease

Washington, May 26 : High levels of a protein, called GGA3, could prevent the accumulation of an enzyme linked to Alzheimer’s, found researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine.

Increasing levels of GGA3 protein prevent accumulation of enzyme linked to Alzheimer’s disease

Researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine have zeroed in on a protein that may play a role in the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. The team found that increasing levels of the protein (called GGA3) prevented the accumulation of an enzyme linked to Alzheimer’s. The strategy may lead to new treatments for the neurodegenerative disease.
