Gingipain

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gingipains are a family of proteases secreted by Porphyromonas gingivalis. Among other functions, it works to degrade cytokines, thereby downregulating the host response in the form of reduced inflammation.[1] Gingipain has been studied for its potential role in the development of Alzheimer's disease.[2][3]
