ADAM10 (A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase 10) has been identified as the major physiological alpha-secretase in neurons (Lammich et al. 1999, Kuhn et al. 2010), responsible for cleaving amyloid precursor protein (APP(18-770)) in a non-amyloidogenic manner and producing APPs-alpha (APP(18-687), a neuroprotective APP-derived peptide (Mockett et al. 2017, Endres & Deller 2017). This cleavage also produces a cellular fragment, C83/CTF-alpha (APP(688-770). Cleavage by alpha-secretase at the cell surface is the major pathway in APP processing, accounting for 80–90% of APP turnover.
