Bruno and Cuello reported that a protease cascade which converts proNGF to mature NGF (mNGF) and degrades mNGF in the extracellular space by the coordinated activity of plasminogen, tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), neuroserpin, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and tissue inhibitor of MMP (TIMP)-1 may be defective in AD, resulting in NGF dysfunction [74].
