Abstract excerpt
Nectin-1 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and a Ca(2+)-independent adherens junction protein involved in synapse formation. Here we show that nectin-1alpha undergoes intramembrane proteolytic processing analogous to that of the Alzheimer's disease amyloid precursor protein, mediated by a presenilin (PS)-dependent gamma-secretase-like activity. 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) treatment of...
