GSAP Proteins and Enzymes

Gamma secretase activating protein (GSAP) is implicated in Alzheimer's disease, through instigating plaque formation of amyloid beta. Immunohistochemistry to identify GSAP in brain can demonstrate its abundance in certain regions of damage, and is usually morphologically changed throughout the progression of Alzheimer's disease. GSAP can be used as a qualitative biomarker of Alzheimer's disease progression, and is regularly considered one of the best targets of therapies to diminish the effects of Alzheimer's disease in affected individuals.
