Presenilin-2 (PS2) expression up-regulation in a model of retinopathy of prematurity and pathoangiogenesis
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
Presenilin-2 (PS2; AD4), a regulator of intercellular signaling during CNS development and cell fate determination, appears to be involved in pathogenic processing of beta-amyloid precursor protein (betaAPP) into potentially neurotoxic beta-amyloid (Abeta) peptides. The PS2 gene promoter contains multiple DNA binding sites for the relatively rare hypoxia-inducible transcription factor HIF-1, suggesting that PS2...
