Abstract excerpt
Presenilins are membrane proteins with multiple transmembrane domains that are thought to contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease by affecting the processing of beta-amyloid precursor protein. Presenilins also facilitate the activity of transmembrane receptors of the LIN-12/Notch family. After ligand-induced processing, the intracellular domain of LIN-12/Notch can enter the nucleus and participate in...
