Abstract excerpt
Previously, we reported that mutations in presenilin 1 (PS1) increased the intracellular levels of amyloid beta-protein (Abeta)42. However, it is still not known at which cellular site or how PS1 mutations exert their effect of enhancing Abeta42-gamma-secretase cleavage. In this study, to clarify the molecular mechanisms underlying this enhancement of Abeta42-gamma-secretase cleavage, we focused on determining...
