Structure-function studies of insulin-regulated membrane aminopeptidase

记忆丧失可能是由于受伤或阿尔茨海默病等疾病造成的，阿尔茨海默病是发达国家的第四大杀手。目前还没有有效的治疗记忆丧失的方法。这项提议涉及一种与记忆和可能的糖尿病有关的蛋白质的生化研究。这项工作有望提供对这种蛋白质在体内功能的理解，并将为设计治疗记忆丧失的药物奠定基础。

Memory loss can occur as a result of injuries or disease such as Alzheimer's disease, the fourth biggest killer in developed countries. Currently there is no effective treatment for memory loss. This proposal concerns the biochemical investigation of a protein involved in memory and possibly diabetes. This work is expected to provide an understanding of how this protein functions in the body and will form the basis for the design of drugs for the treatment of memory loss.
