Abstract excerpt
Presenilin 1 (PS1) is linked with Alzheimer's disease but exhibits functional roles regulating growth and development. For instance, PS1 binds to beta-catenin and modulates beta-catenin signaling. In the current study, we observed that knockout of PS1 inhibited beta-catenin-mediated transcription by 35%, as shown by a luciferase reporter driven by the hTcf-4 promoter. Overexpressing wild-type PS1 increased...
