SEL‐10 interacts with presenilin 1, facilitates its ubiquitination, and alters A‐beta peptide production
1 Sept 2002
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the human presenilin genes (PS1 or PS2) have been linked to autosomal dominant, early onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). Presenilins, probably as an essential part of gamma-secretase, modulate gamma-cleavage of the amyloid protein precursor (APP) to the amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta). Mutations in sel-12, a Caenorhabditis elegans presenilin homologue, cause a defect in egg laying that can be suppressed by...
