Abstract excerpt
Presenilin proteins have been implicated both in developmental signalling by the cell-surface protein Notch and in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Loss of presenilin function leads to Notch/lin-12-like mutant phenotypes in Caenorhabditis elegans and to reduced Notch1 expression in the mouse paraxial mesoderm. In humans, presenilins that are associated with Alzheimer's disease stimulate overproduction of...
