This study investigates the role of calpain, a Ca2+-dependent protease, in the a-processing of amyloid-b precursor protein (APP), which is crucial for understanding amyloid plaque formation in aging and senile dementia.

The findings suggest that calpain may be a viable candidate for a-secretase, warranting further investig
