Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention and treatment for β-amyloid (Aβ) accumulation in brain comprising GCP-II (Glutamate carboxypeptidase-II) as an active ingredient, a composition for screening method of the same. GCP-II of the present invention not only degrades Aβ monomer and oligomer but also degrades soluble Aβ and insoluble Aβ, particularly aggregated Aβ, so that it can prevent the accumulation of Aβ in brain or reduce the accumulation, making it an excellent candidate for the therapeutic agent for Alzheimer's disease and Down's syndrome.
