Abstract excerpt
Mutations in presenilin-1 (PS-1) have been shown to increase neuronal vulnerability to apoptosis in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Par-4 is a novel cell-death-promoting protein associated with neuronal degeneration in AD. We previously reported that, in transfected PC12 cells, Par-4 seems to be involved in the neurodegenerative mechanisms of PS-1 mutations. However, direct evidence for a necessary role of Par-4 in the...
