Because excess activation of nAChRs damages neuronal health and brain function, organisms have a clear need to restrict the degree of nAChR activation PubMed:21482353
Aminopeptidases are a group of enzymes that cleave from the N-terminal end of a protein. The family includes alanyl, arginyl, and glutamyl peptidases. Puromycin sensitive aminopeptidase (PSA) is an alanyl peptidase that is responsible for s90% of the aminopeptidase activity in the brain(10). PubMed:24027553
Recent advances now enable several AD-related brain changes to be detected in vivo: 18F-FDG-PET detects decreases in glucose metabolism,45,46 and MRI detects brain atrophy, as well as diffusion and perfu- sion abnormalities, which are most prominent in the vul- nerable hippocampal formation and cortical regions.

Within the brain, ACB55 (B55) is the major PP2A B iso- form and it binds to tau with high affinity both in in vitro protein-protein interaction paradigms and in cell cultures [36, 37]. PubMed:22299660
Although tau function can be partly compensated by other, redundant microtubule-associated proteins (for example, MAP1A), the behavioural impairments observed in aged (~12‑month-old) tau-knockout mice indicate that tau is necessary for normal neuronal and brain function. PubMed:26631930
