Sites of Aβ1–42 cleavage by Aβ degrading proteases. The amino acid sequence of Aβ1–42 is shown indicating the sites at which neprilysin (NEP, black arrows), endothelin-converting enzyme (E, blue arrows), neutrophil elastase (NE, red arrows), plasmin (P, pink arrows), cathepsin G (CG, orange arrows), insulin-degrading enzyme (I, purple arrows), and CAP37 (C, green arrows) cleave Aβ1–42. Asterisks (*) represent sites that are cleaved only by CAP37, neutrophil elastase, or cathepsin G
