Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the presenilin 1 (PS1) gene are the most common genetic factor underlying the development of early onset familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD). Accumulating evidence has shown that FAD-linked mutations of PS1 enhance the generation of amyloid-beta (1-42) protein. Recently, beta-catenin has been shown to interact with PS1. beta-catenin is essential for the Wnt signalling pathway. However, the biological...
