We demonstrated a significant upregulation of PROK2 levels in brain tissues of Abeta1-42 i.c.v. injected rats, transgenic AD mice (Tg2576), and in the hippocampus of AD patients. Additionally, through a pilot study, an approximate twofold increase of PROK2 levels has been proved in the serum of AD patients, compared to the control subjects, identifying a potential blood-based biomarker of the disease. | Involvement of the Chemokine Prokineticin-2 (PROK2) in Alzheimer's Disease: From Animal Models to the Human Pathology.
