ERAB is characterized as a NAD+-dependent dehydrogenase that is constitutively expressed in tissues and overexpressed in neurons affected in Alzheimer’s disease. Cells overexpressing ERAB in vitro have been shown to be more sensitive to β-Amyloid-induced stress, and blocking the activity of ERAB has been shown to inhibit this cell death, indicating that β-Amyloid induced cell death is mediated by ERAB.
