The cell surface receptor TREM2 is a key genetic risk factor and drug target in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In the brain, TREM2 is expressed in microglia, where it undergoes proteolytic cleavage, linked to AD risk, but the responsible protease in microglia is unknown. Another microglia-expressed AD risk factor is inactive rhomboid 2 (iRhom2, RHBDF2), which acts as a non-catalytic subunit of the metalloprotease ADAM17. Its function in AD is unknown. To determine whether loss of iRhom2 and ADAM17 ...
